4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent addition to your library,
By Lesley (New York) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Clayworks in Art Therapy: Plying the Sacred Circle (Paperback)
This is a well-researched and thought out book, filled with interesting examples taken from clinical practice and presented in an immensely readable fashion. It's an important addition to the library of any clinician who introduces clay work with patients/clients, or is planning to. There are all levels of skills presented here, and one need not have a strong background in clay to benefit from this book. I highly recommend it.
