Muller, Kristin. "The Potter's Studio Handbook: A Start-to-Finish Guide to Hand-Built & Wheel-Thrown Ceramics". Quarry: Quayside. 2007. c.192p. illus. bibliog. index. ISBN 978-1-59253-373-2. pap. $24.99. ART INSTRUCTION
Muller, a ceramic artist since 1987 and the education director for Brookfield Craft Center in Brookfield, CT, offers a splendid book on a timeless art. She guides beginners through advanced students in equipping a ceramic studio, handling the design, preparing the clay, constructing slab projects, throwing on a wheel, glazing, and firing. The 16 clay projects featured here include teapots, vases, and dinner plates. Readers can draw inspiration from the creative painting and underglazing examples, as well as the unusual firing techniques for color and texture. Highly recommended, though professional potters will want advanced works like Irene Poulton's Fired Up with Raku: Over 300 Recipes. "-Library Journal, March 2008"

Product Description
Like blacksmithing or hobby farming, pottery-making appeals to individuals who like to be creative, work with their hands and don't mind getting a little dirty. It is a hobby that is largely underserved by the publishing industry, and yet it is difficult for someone to learn without a comprehensive guide because the tools and techniques are quite complicated. The "Potter's Studio Handbook" guides readers through the process of setting up their own studio and teaching them how to master the techniques at home. Once techniques are mastered, "The Potter's Studio Handbook" will remain an invaluable resource to the clay artist when looking to create beautiful yet functional projects at home with nearly 25 projects that build upon previously learned skills.

Handy and helpful

While setting up a ceramics program in a 55+ active adult community, I needed a quick helpful guide with lots of guidance. I tried this book and it has been indeed helpful with lots of information on clay types, stages, firing processes, glazing, handbuilding and throwing on the wheel. It is filled with good material, directions and pictures. My students liked it so much that some even purchased it for themselves. I had taught ceramics in the public schools for decades, and this did a great job of summarizing what I had taught over a semester in a thorough and quick, easy-to-use format.
