Basics Of ... Pottery (Seven Voices)

I like this new Basics of ... series, how-to books that cover subjects from beekeeping to business law in an easy-to-understand manner. Three cheers for these guides. - Nicolas Gilmartin Teranzi, Online Critics Corner "At last, an alternative to those Dummies and Idiots series, one that treats readers as intelligent." - Martha Griswold, Domestic News This latest entry in the Basics of ... series offers an excellent introduction to pottery, from clays and pastes to molds, casts, and pressings, from turning to firing, drying to decorating. You'll learn how to throw a pot, fire a biscuit, and mix a glaze. What's more, there are equipment lists, an expanded glossary, and instructions for selecting a kiln. Before you know it, you'll become a pottery of impressive skill.
