Setting Up a Pottery Workshop (Ceramic Handbooks)

This informative, practical book looks at a variety of ways that pottery studios have been set up, including examples that detail studio layout and type of work produced from potters from around the world. The book discusses requirements of both the specialized studio and those suited for more general pottery production. It presents valuable information for those setting up their first studio, and more experienced potters will be interested in how others have developed their studios.

Also includes plans for the production of homemade tools and equipment, which can often be made at a fraction of the cost of commercially available products. Features artists and potters from England, United States, South Africa, Australia, and Europe.
