  This text takes a practical look at pottery and ceramics and shows how to make stylish and useful items, even without access to a potter's wheel or kiln. Using clay which air-dries as well as earthenware and terracotta clay, the amateur potter can create a wide range of attractive, useful and practical pieces. The 12 projects demonstrated include a ceramic mirror, ceramic clock, inlaid tiles and a pedestal bowl. The various methods and techniques are intended to be suitable for all levels of expertise, and the text also demonstrates how to use clays, glazes, moulds and kilns (including simple tabletop models). An inspirational gallery displays the work of some contemporary potters.
