|
|
This useful compendium is an invaluable guide for practising potters, containing money-saving tips and how-to advice on using everyday objects as tools of the trade in a potter’s workshop. Tips written by potters include how to use a pair of tights to sieve clay, and how to create throwing ribs out of old beer cans. Potters’ Tips is both an entertaining read, and a testament to the resourcefulness of Ceramic Review magazine’s readers. Potters’ Tips contains nearly some 600 pieces of advice, all previously printed in Ceramic Review, catalogued into sections including clay, throwing and turning, finishing and handbuilding, decoration, glazing, firing, tools, equipment and materials. Extensive cross-referencing index included. This spiral-bound volume with how-to drawings is a useful addition to any potter’s workshop. Alternatively it can be read as a collection of ideas which reveals the way potters work and think about their craft.
