Every day, ceramic artists encounter techniques, processes, materials, problems
and more that leave them with questions such as: How? Why? Where? Clay:
A Studio Handbook, by Vince Pitelka, answers those questions with authoritative,
comprehensive coverage of topics ranging from materials, studio safety, making
and improvising tools, equipment, firing processes and theory, and much more!
A new classic! Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in ceramics, Pitelka
has created the most practical, all-inclusive studio handbook for students, studio
artists, educators, and all those interested in the art of clay. Ten chapters,
addressing the full range of ceramic processes, bring a lifetime of ceramic knowledge
directly into the hands of potters. Written with concern for safe and efficient
studio operation, diligent attention is paid to safety practices. A thorough table
of contents, glossary, and index make finding answers quick and convenient. Numerous
step-by-step illustrations guide readers through the many techniques.
Whatever your involvement with clay and the clay arts, this book belongs in your library or studio. This is a book you will use over and over again! |
