Tony Birks' Pottery: A complete guide to pottery-making techniques - Softcover
Beautifully illustrated and eminently practical, this book introduces the beginner to wheel-made pottery and the full range of hand-building, slip-casting, extrusion and raku techniques, with an extended section on glazing and decoration. Tony Birks is one of the foremost writers on pottery, and an experienced teacher in all aspects of the craft. The secrets and skills of pottery are introduced and explained to quite advanced stages. History, cultural backgrounds and uses of pottery from different ages and continents are given exactly the right amount of detail and emphasis, and materials and their qualities are explained at every step. Most important, the content explores some of the comparatively new approaches, attitudes and work of many potters working today.
