5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding voyage into the art of clay!, September 23, 2005
This review is from: Sculpting Clay (Paperback)
As a working artist, I found this book to include far more than a simple idea of how to assemble objects from clay. With all due respect to the Editorial Review, I think the underlying thrust of the book is missed; it not just a technique book. This book has one of the best explanations of how to put your deepest ideas and concepts into physical 3D form for all to see and appreciate. The author apparently knows what art is intended to do, and conveys this clearly without a lot of elevated and pretentious art lingo. The author deserves an award for clear communication. Technique-wise, there are many, many wonderful ideas to stimulate the reader's imagination. I value this book and highly recommend it without hesitation.

Chock full of ideas, December 29, 2004
This review is from: Sculpting Clay (Paperback)
Just got this book for Christmas. What a wonderful book! It's full of ideas and techniques. (Ignore the editorial review. He didn't get far enough to notice that there is a glossary for terms you may not have heard before.) Part of what makes this book so good is it explores WAY beyond the standard head and figure scultures. Highly recommended!
