Valuable description of traditional process,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Indian Pottery (Paperback)
What a find. This is a small book, but I think anyone who makes pots would value it for life. The author, Toni, outlines the entire, traditional process of making Pueblo pottery. And I mean, she starts with collecting the clay and adding grog and goes all the way through the wood-buring, smoke firing process that produces those wonderful black, burnished pots!She takes you through the process to create just ONE black pot, which turns out to be a prize-winner! There are lots of pictures throughout that show the pot during various stages and the text gives pretty detailed information on the process. She does leave out some things, maybe assuming the reader already knows them, but you could probably create your own Pueblo pot using this book. I found the description of burnishing using slip to be most valuable, as well as the firing process, which I'd never seen before. I highly recommend this to potters, especially handbuilders who use the coil method to build pots.
