Pottery
Making Techniques
A collection of articles from Pottery Making Illustrated
Magazine written by some of the best known contemporary ceramics artists
including Rosette Gault, Dannon Rudy, Steven Hill, Sumi von Dassow and
more. ”One of the best things about making pottery is that there are so
many ways to do it—handbuilding and throwing, decorating and glazing, as
well as firing with gas, grass or electric. With all these variables, it’s
no wonder that no two potters make the same work. In this collection of
pottery techniques, you’ll discover scores of great ideas, practical
information you can use and seeds of inspiration that you can nurture.
Pottery Making Techniques showcases more than thirty skilled artists who
provide instruction and insights to techniques they use on a regular
basis. They’ve learned from their mistakes, sorted out the good from the
bad, and streamlined methods that will work for you. Intermediate to
advanced techniques are presented in a well-illustrated, step-by-step
format that will provide years of inspiration. “ (edited by Anderson

Ceramic Projects:
Forming Techniques
One of the most remarkable things about clay is that you can make most anything from it, and in
Ceramic
Projects: Forming Techniques dozens
of clay artists prove
this over and over. You’ll discover some practical projects like Steve
Davis-Rosenbaum’s unique Chip and Dip server and Dannon Rhudy’s Juicer to the more esoteric
Pancaker of Keith Phillips and the exotic Condiment Server
from Gwendolyn Yoppolo. Beyond
simple cylinder and slab construction, these projects get into combinations
of techniques-adding textures, cutting darts, extruding forms, faceting,
assembling multiple parts, and more. Techniques that will make your work stand out. For the
intermediate potter looking for the next challenge and the
advanced clay artist seeking inspiration, these projects run the gamut of possibilities. (edited by

Studio Ceramics: Advanced Techniques
Every clay artist has a skill
set that influences their work. If you prefer handbuilding
or throwing, your work shows it. But there are hundreds of techniques,
thousands of variations and millions of combinations that involve some
aspect of forming and finishing. It’s these combinations that make ceramic art so exciting and
why no two ceramic artists produce the same work. This
is a book about variety, but, more importantly, about possibilities. It’s
a compilation of
techniques from a wide spectrum of experienced clay artists who have
figured out something unique in ceramics, perfected it, and documented it so others could take it to the
next level. In Studio
Ceramics you’ll
find techniques for
double-walled vessels, miniatures, templates, carving, sculpting, mixed
media, throwing, handbuilding, surface decoration, photo transfers, and much more. (edited by Anderson
Turner, paperback)
