Descrição do livro
Most pottery books hand you projects. This one hands you the physics.
Hand Building Techniques Handbook is a complete, ground-up guide to pinch, coil, and slab construction - the three techniques that let you build anything in clay without ever touching a wheel. Across 30 chapters, you'll move from raw clay and basic tools through advanced forming, joining, surface decoration, and firing, with the reasoning behind every technique explained clearly enough to apply on your own work, not just copy.
Inside, you'll learn how to:
This is a working reference, not a project book. It's built for the studio bench: consulted early for foundational technique, and returned to for years on joining, firing, and troubleshooting - long after the basics are second nature. The historical and cross-cultural chapter grounds the techniques in tradition, while the closing chapter helps you develop your own practice and body of work.
Hand building rewards patient, repeated practice - and having a single, thorough reference at your elbow while you learn shortens that road considerably. Whether you're picking up clay for the first time or filling gaps in self-taught technique, this handbook is built to be your studio companion from your first pinch pot to your most ambitious sculptural piece.Keep it on the shelf nearest your bench - not in a drawer.
