4.0 out of 5 stars
Aimed at beginners, August 4, 2006
This review is from: The Art of Handbuilt Ceramics (Hardcover)
The book was geared toward those without much working knowledge of handbuilding. The photos were very nice, and included various different ways of approaching handbuilding, so could serve to inspire someone try new approaches.

A great book for beginning to intermediate ceramists., September 14, 2008
This review is from: The Art of Handbuilt Ceramics (Hardcover)
One can never buy all the books for a hobby but if you can afford just one book on handbuilding techniques, it would be for the book; THE ART OF HANDBUILT CERAMICS.
It has lots of pictures, instructions and inspiration on how to work your clay. It's worth every penny. My only problem is that I can't share it with other ceramists.....not being sure that they'd return the great book once they've read it.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Art of Handbuilt Ceramics (Hardcover)
Way too much of this book is devoted to the history of pottery. The beginning of the book repeats information found in countless other pottery books addressing the reader as a beginner. Then, the instructions for the projects seem to leave out information assuming the reader is experienced in working with clay.
I wanted more specific, clearly-written steps in how the author creates her own work.
