5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for playing in real clay!, April 16, 2000

By	Susan Morita (Honolulu, Hawaii) - See all my reviews

I love this book and highly recommend it. It could help craft or school teachers, studio owners or adults who want to work in clay. There are great step by step photographs allowing you to make delightful projects in minutes. Handmade Clay Crafts is written for the person who likes to make crafts not the serious potter unless they want to have fun with clay. I've make most of the projects in the book and I am planning to sell them craft fairs. The author's second book is a soft cover version of the first book with almost the exact information in both so buy one or the other, not both.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for teachers working with kids and clay!, May 28, 2003

By	Molly Martino "MoJo Buys" (Canton, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a longtime ceramic art instructor working with children of all ages, this is a fun book to refer to and I've added it to my list of books to tell the parents about with many students wanting to continue to work at home on projects. It's also a good book for adult beginning ceramic crafters. You just need an electric kiln or access to one. I really enjoyed the book!
