Customer Reviews

a good beginners book

This is a great book for beginner potters that like step by step instructions along with pictures for projects on the wheel or hand built. It explains glazes, slips, kilns, surface decoration, making plaster molds, etc. An overall good book to have in your library.

Simple, practical, applicable advice!

I love this book! It is well laid out. It is easy to read AND to understand! It's packed with simple instructions and clear information with lots and lots of pictures to illustrate the many processes and aspects of pottery. I highly recommend this book, especially to those who may be starting out in pottery or even if you have some experience behind you--it's a great resource!

Informative & Accessible

This will be a short review. But there's not really much to say: the book is informative, accessible, well laid out, well bound (it stays open by itself on), and in some ways, inspiring. I recieved the book just today, and have only spent about 20 minutes with it, but as a relatively skilled potter, I have already gleaned some useful information, and inspiration from the book. Highly recommended.

Informative Book, same as "[Complete] Practical Potter"

This appears to be the same book as "The Complete Practical Potter" isbn #0754801950, so see the reviews there for more info about the contents of this book. [My full review of this title is at isbn #1843092069, which is another edition of this same book.]
