Great!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 6 years ago
This book is great! I have so many small stickies throughout the text to reference back to later, and I'm only about a quarter way through. I say, "oh...that's awesome....I'm going to try that," on nearly every page I read. This book is great for those looking for a breakdown of pottery making and is written with potter terms but explained in lay terms. It's any self-started potters new best friend. I even have found the information to be very useful for my sculpting.

I found this book to be easy to understand and very helpful for a beginning potterer. I would recommend it for anyone wanting to learn the basics of pottery and how it all comes together.
Great all-around ceramics text
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Comprehensive in scope, this book takes the reader through a complete ceramics course. Very well written, it includes concise but thorough background info, plus clear step-by-step instructions on specific techniques. It lacks some of the detail of specialty books, but if you need to start with one overall book, or if you want to make sure there are no huge gaps in your understanding, this book is a good choice.

I reccomend this book to both begginers and experienced potters. It has many step-by-step black and white photos with great instructions. The photos have helped me perform techniques better and properly. There is a section on every method of working with clay and gives you solutions to problems. This book also gives great guides on buying clay, making a work space and many other opinions on how to become a professional potter. I don't have a question about pottery that can't be answered in this book.
