An introduction to a popular, yet under-published, aspect of ceramics.

An introduction to a popular, yet under-published, aspect of ceramics. For centuries, clay has been used not only to make vessels but also to create sculptures. For beginner clayworkers and experienced potters who can't stand to make one more mug, here is a guide to sculpting figurative and non-figurative forms in clay. Seven complete sculpture projects are explained step-by-step: a resting cat; a whimsical fish; a colourful bird in a tree; an abstract head; a mythological bird-human creature; a standing figure; a relief wall piece; Learn all the essential techniques: slab, pinch & coil; types of clay; firing techniques; surface treatments; glaze and stain; paint and polish; Step-by-step colour photographs and easy-to-follow instructions; Discover how easy and rewarding it is to sculpt sophisticated forms in clay; In full colour: a glorious gallery of the best contemporary ceramic sculpture.
