This is a handbook on the art of working with clay, now in its second edition and originally published under the title "The Complete Pottery Course". This edition provides more comprehensive information on both practical and artistic topics, combining a step-by-step guide to acquiring practical skills with an appreciation of the artistic potential of working with clay. It is suitable for beginners and for more advanced ceramicists. Each technical term and process is explained in detail, and the whole range of hand, wheel and plasterwork techniques is covered in over 60 sequences. A concise history of ceramics links past techniques and traditions to contemporary work. Colour charts of clay and glaze combinations are provided, together with a new section on the computer, and the computerized programs now available to ceramicists.
