Description
Features 12 easily created projects for beginners and explains how to combine the pinch, coil and tube techniques.
Ceramists will welcome the return of this classic guide to creating clay figures--now revised with four new projects, updated galleries, and a fresh introduction! With plenty of how-to images, this accessible beginner's guide teaches the art of making beautiful ceramic figures--both human and animal. Anyone who has ever rolled a snake out of clay or pinched a piecrust can easily complete the 12 skill-building projects here. Master teacher Susan Halls explores four basic techniques: pinching, slab building, coiling, and dowel work. Learn how to pinch a pot with a deep bowl shape, and use this technique to construct a plump pig. With the slab building method, you can make an enchanting bird-relief tile or turn a favorite family photo into a delightful diorama. The book also offers invaluable advice on setting up a studio or home workspace, using slips, and choosing a glaze. Galleries featuring a range of ceramic work illustrate the creative possibilities of each featured technique.
