  • Ceramics: Techniques& Projects ( A Sunset Book)
I try to find old pottery books. Here some projects are good with children. They are basic, but still I find some projects playful for me to apply to my handbuilding works.

  • Daughter of a Potter
Ok, I am not a potter, but the daughter of a potter. So, this book reminds me of my Dad's long and productive career, and perhaps appeals to me because it is full of examples of the type of pottery being made in California during the 1970s. Having said that, the book seems very complete for its size. It has lots of photos of projects and inspiration. The book begins with a brief history of pottery followed by a section on clay and then tools (my dad made most of his own). Then a chapter on hand building with sections on pinch, coil, slab, and mold methods. Then ideas: trivets, bottles, frames, boxes, buttons, lanterns, wall hangings, jewlery, tiles, wind chimes. The list could go on and on. It makes me want to find a studio and smell the clay! But wait! I am barely half way through the book! The next section is on the potter's wheel: types of wheels, types of clay, centering. Making cylinders, bowls, footings, lids, spouts, handles -- it's all covered with appropriate photos to illustrate. Then a section on ideas with special emphasis on texture and color. Next a chapter on firing. It's worth reading because I understand it's not necessarily a do-it-yourself thing anymore. If you're not firing your own pottery, this will give you an insight into the work of whomever is doing the honors, and might help your understanding if your artwork ever becomes the victim of a "firing accident". Finally, a very short chapter on Raku; just enough to whet your appetite for that ancient Japanese technique. Well, what can I say? The book is selling here for pennies. If you have a 3D artist in the family who'd like to try making some pottery, you'd be well advised to get a copy of this Sunset Hobby & Craft Book. ... show more
