Handbuilt Ceramics is a practical guide to all aspects of
technique, but goes further by exploring the studio practices of
ten exciting contemporary makers. Advice is given on how to get
started and information on tools and equipment, types of clay and a
safe workspace set-up. Handbuilding methods, such as pinching,
coiling, slabbing and press moulding, are explained in detail with
step-by-step sequences. Techniques for creating surface interest,
pre and post firing, are included using coloured slip, glaze or
paint. Ideas for combining techniques and ways to experiment are
explored and encouraged, as well as tips to avoid common problems
and to achieve successful outcomes. With over 350 lavish photos,
this book will provide inspiration through a unique understanding
of current work. It is written both for the novice and for the
experienced maker looking for a new direction.
