The Potter's Workbook

By Christine Rowe

This book builds, chapter by chapter, into a complete beginner's course in pottery techniques and design. Taking her inspiration from natural forms, the urban environment, faces and figures and the landscape, the author shows how to prepare clay and how to create a series of pinch and coiled pots, tiles, tablets and dishes. She discusses decorative methods such as scraffito, burnishing, slip trailing and feathering and gives useful information on glazing and firing. A list of recipes is given at the back of the book for clay bodies, slips, colours of glazes, together with notes on kilns, throwing and decoration.
