techniques can result in almost limitless possibilities. Whether
you've longed to make functional dinnerware or gigantic clay sculpture,
teapots for collectors or decorative tiles for friends, the world of
handbuilding awaits you. Handbuilt Ceramics is written for beginners
and experts alike. You'll start by learning how to set up a workshop
and gather tools, select a clay and shape it, and decorate and fire what
you make. Then the authoir will guild you carefully through a series
of step-by-step projects: a basic pinch pot, coiled planter, slip-cast
pitcher, press-molded relief tile, and more. Each project comes with
helpful how-to photos. Also an excellent text for students. |

| In this book, Michael Hardy looks at the
traditional handbuilding methods--pinching, coiling, slab building, and
pressmolding--and explains how to do them. For many years these methods
were eclipsed by throwing on a potter's wheel which came to dominate as a
making method. However, in the past 30 years handbuilding has once again
become a preferred technique among ceramic artists. These artists are
engaged in exploring the creative possibilities that handbuilding offers,
experimenting fully with and combining techniques in an effort to achieve
their artistic vision. The results have brought forth some of the most
exciting ceramics today. "A ceramics handbook that would be a
perfect choice for any art school. . . . This introduction to techniques
covers everything from construction to controlling drying and slab
building and is an excellent guide for ceramic artists interested in the
revitalized art of handbuilding." --Bookwatch |
