Working with clay is tremendously versatile, and this book brings a sound knowledge of the main ceramic methods to both the novice and the practising maker wanting to extend their approach to design and technique. Each chapter features a rich array of step-by-step explanations, brought to life with examples of contemporary work. Ideas range from a thrown cup and saucer, a hand-formed interpretation of the human figure, a press-moulded jug with sprigged decoration, and slipcast vessels with the distinctive crackled surface of raku. Accessible and inspiring, the book uncovers both the practical essentials and the creative secrets of working with clay.
