This review is from: Definitive Guide to Mold Making and Slip Casting: Contemporary Techniques for Potters (Hardcover)

I was browsing the net for info about clay sculpture, and especially about mold making and casting. I found this book listed at baileypottery.com, but they are temporarily out of stock. I came to amazon to see if it's here, and while it is listed, it has no image, and no book desciption. I downloaded then uploaded the book cover image from the other site, and here is the book description:

"The Definitive Guide to Mold Making and Slip Casting
Including interviews with artists Adrian Saxe, Richard Notkin, Donna Polsen and others, this book is a comprehensive guide to mold making and slip casting. It is designed to make mold-making accessible with detailed instruction on tools & materials, plaster, slip formulation, 1- & 2-piece molds, complex molds, master molds, casting and troubleshooting. B&W photos illustrate tools and processes step-by-step. Andrew Martin has a 25 year history of working with molds and an MFA from Alfred University. (201 Pp/ I00s of B&W+ 4 Pp Color Photos/ 8½"x11"/ Paper) (A. Martin) "

I hope this helps.
