Experienced potter Henry Leighton has spent years creating
potteries and ceramic objects of his own and for others: this is
his practical, all-encompassing guide, complete with step-by-step
illustrations. A brilliant introduction to making pottery by hand,
this book introduces the reader at first to the philosophy and
notions of design possessed by every good potter. When is making
quality earthenware an art form, and when it is simple manufacture
of a product? What distinguishes ordinary pottery from porcelain?
The book delves into the materials and clay necessary, and the
methods and distinctions in crafting. Important qualities such as
the porosity and plasticity of clay, and the various kinds of clay
useful for making quality earthenware, are discussed. We're also
instructed how, and in what proportions, we should mix clay to
achieve an ideal consistency for either earthenware or porcelain.
