Step by step procedure and detailed visualizations of the construction of each project are ideal for the beginner and teacher. The exciting quality of the examples and the possibilities for further advanced exploration will attract the serious amateur and the professional. More than 180 illustrations include five finished examples in full color. The reader is guided through the construction of a series of ceramic sculptures including animal, human, plant, and abstract forms which build up his knowledge of clay and how to handle it a step at a time. The text covers the simple tools needed, suitable clay and their preparation, sources of ideas and their translation into ceramic sculpture, clearly pictured individual and group projects (small and large including hollow, slab, and coil construction), firing procedures, finishes of various kinds (engobes, glazes, textures, patina, and waterproofing). There is an illustrated gallery of historical examples, a source list of materials, and a bibliography of design and technical publications..
