Pottery, for Artists, Craftsmen & Teachers

A practical manual guiding artists, craftsmen, and teachers through pottery's materials, techniques, and teaching methods. It opens with a concise historical overview before examining clays and pastes, handbuilding, moulding and casting, jiggering, wheel-throwing, turning, tile-making, drying and finishing. Detailed chapters explain biscuit and glost firing, glaze formulation and decorative techniques, figurine modelling, and kiln construction. Emphasis balances artistic judgment with essential technical knowledge, while appendices outline equipment for small studios and a glossary, making the book a hands-on reference for both students learning fundamentals and practitioners refining craft and classroom instruction.
