5.0 out of 5 stars 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.

I wanted more specific, clearly-written steps in how the author creates her own work.
