very useful
Detailed instructions and step-by-step photos, including very useful cutaway ones, for almost 20 different fairly simple projects. Since I've never liked using the wheel, it's great to find so many more books on handbuilding nowadays.
Good for beginner or intermediate!
I received this book for Christmas, and by New Year I had already read it cover to cover twice plus completed 2 of the suggested projects! Its totally absorbing, with very easy to follow diagrams, clear instructions and some great ideas on what to make by moulding, slabbing, pinching and coiling. I was a complete beginner at handbuilt techniques(although have thrown pots on the wheel), but still managed to produce some half decent results.
The best book!
This is the best book I have found in two years of searching. The instructions and photographs that take you from start to finish of each project are crystal clear. The projects make you want to start 'right now', and give you skills and inspiration to create your own work.
I bought the book for myself, and have since bought a second one for the hobby studio I go to (where they are fighting over who uses it first!) Brilliant, thankyou.
