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.

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.
