1.0 out of 5 stars Disapointing, 29 Oct 2004
By A Customer
I have been a ceramicist and lecturer in ceramics for 15 years and I have to say this is one of the worst books on handbuilt ceramics I have come accross. The book only briefly mentions a few handbuilding and decorating techniques, which are inadequately described, and a great deal is missing from a book that does not live up to its title. If you are a ceramicist - experienced or a beginner please don't waste your money on this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, 5 April 2006
By C. V. McCulloch "kv_mc" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am interested in handbuilt ceramics and thought this looked good. It starts off well with good images and some inspiration but by the time I got midway through I found myself losing interest not sure if that is because I've seen the info better presented in other books or because it wasn't laid out well.
I'm more of an images person and if you are too then I suggest you look around a bit more and buy this as a last resort.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the ultimate guide to handbuilt ceramics., 22 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I have been a potter for many years and I found this book an inspiration. I have a collection of Sue Bruces' work and consider her an immensley talented artist. This is a MUST read!
