Make It in Clay: A Beginner's Guide to Ceramics

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.
