This is a must-have book for the ceramist's library-the only book to demonstrate precisely the craft of making and using all types of molds -- from decorative press molds to complex, multipart slip-casting molds. Two calculators are bound in as a special bonus. Originally released with a hard cover.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Industrial reference material,
By michael joy (ChicagoMoldSchool.com) (Illinois United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mold Making for Ceramics (Paperback)
This book is often referred to as the best on the market. Yes and no. True, it is the most professionally written book on mold making. However, if you are looking for technical instruction, this is not the book. I realize that definitive information about mold making is not acquired through any one single book. Yet, having read this book years ago in art school, I was not able to translate any of the information into practical use. The processes illustrated are industrial with zero creative applications. It is obvious that Frith is a master mold maker, but it is my opinion that he has forgotten what a beginner needs to know. Overall, the techniques shown (production pottery) are limited but depending on your background, perhaps some of the processes might be eye opening.

Mold Making for Ceramics,

This review is from: Mold Making for Ceramics (Paperback)
An excellent book with a wealth of information about ceramic moldmaking, invaluable for both the hobbiest and professional potter. I purchased the book to get information about jigger molds and found excellent information. I was pleasantly surprised to find information about styrofoam and wood mold making. The section an mixing and using plaster was very informative.

I would like to have known the book was incomplete, worn and the pages were untrimmed. After purchasing this book as new, I hesitate to order anything thru Amazon.
