Primitive Pottery describes the ways by which pottery can be made in
the field, without benefit of the well-equipped studio. It briefly explains how
pottery was made before the discovery of kilns, and shows how students and experienced
potters today can use primitive methods—and devise their own variation on
them—to better understand the nature of clay and fire.
All the fundamental aspects of pottery-making are covered. The contents include:
Earth Minerals, Preparation of Earth Minerals, Tools, Shaping, Surface Enrichment,
Drying, Simple Glazes, Firing without Kilns, Oxidation and Reduction, Porosity,
Rudimentary Kilns, More Sophisticated Kilns and a supplementary list of references
and suggested reading. |
