Hands in clay is intended for those studying ceramics for the first time. For some of you this will be in a formal course at a school or college, for others it will be in a less formal craft class or perhaps individually in your home. The author has tried to meet the needs of all newcomers to clay by providing the necessary background for a full appreciation of clay as an expressive medium, as well as giving detailed step by step explanations of the most common methods and techniques of working in clay.

An excellent introductory guide to creating clay
In this practical introductory guide, more than 250 illustrations show rather than tell beginners how to turn a lump of clay into the work they envision. Readers will find descriptions of basic tools, materials, and techniques, inspiring color examples of artists' creations, safety tips, and a glossary. Each chapter also includes creative exercises and room for notes or sketches.
