About This Book
A practical textbook presenting concrete principles and flexible rules for designing objects in wood, clay, and base and precious metals, aimed at students, teachers, and craftsmen. It treats primary-mass proportions, horizontal and vertical divisions, appendages, methods for enriching contours and surfaces for different materials, and color principles (hue, value, chroma) with stain applications. Illustrated procedures, review questions, and an appendix offering sample courses of study for metalwork and pottery translate design theory into shop practice and classroom use, emphasizing technical feasibility, originality, and time-efficient instruction, and concluding with a consolidated summary of rules.
