The classic guide is back, with four new projects, updated galleries, and a fresh introduction! With plenty of how-to images, Ceramics for Beginners teaches four basic techniques—pinching, slab building, coiling, and dowel work—for making beautiful human and animal figures. Twelve projects range from a pinch-pot pig to a bird-relief tile, and there’s advice on setting up a studio or home workspace, slips, and glazes.

a must have ceramic book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2011

I have had the pleasure of being taught by Susan Hall as a visiting lecturer at Canterbury Christchurch university uk. This book is like have her teaching you in class, full of ideas and enthusiasm for working with clay it is a masterclass in book form and is definatly a must have. the photographs are clear easy to follow and the tone of the book is encouraging, informative and overflowing with Suzy's boundless energy and passion for what she does. the projects help you build on techniques skills learnt and this book will take you from setting up your working area to firing your work and just about everything in between. nothing has been left out in this book it has been well thought out and worth the wait for it to be published. useful to beginners and more advanced ceramic artists alike I can see myself refering to it often.

I have used this book with my children's pottery groups, for several of the projects highlighted in it, all with great success and I would recommend it to anyone who needs instruction and inspiration with more sculptural clay work.
Though a ceramic artist myself, my work focuses on more utilitarian pieces, so Susan Hall's clear instructions, made the projects do-able for my students, and easily teachable by me.

We use lots of underglaze colours so our finished pieces were more colourful, and turned out really charming. The children especially enjoyed making the rabbit, each interpreting it in their own way, holding carrots or a basket of veggies(á lá Beatrix Potter) or wearing interesting clothes. So I think the strength of this book is that the projects can be used as a starting point and embellished ad infinitum.

Perfect Book for the Beginner and Novice

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 May 2012

This book is a perfect edition to any library that deals with Clay and Ceramics. Nicely laid out, simply language and very nice projects to follow. The authors also gives recipies for glazes and paperclay as well as what you need if you desire to set up your own Pottery Studio/Workshop. I cannot not praise this book highly enough and it was delivered earlier then predicted. Well done Amazon :)
