Pottery: Form and Expression
This pottery instruction book uses an entirely unique approach. It shows how any craftsperson can develop both as an alert and creative human being and as a competent technician in his or her field. It provides basic technical information about processes and materials, and contains examples of pottery chosen not only for artistic qualities but also as expressions of ancient and contemporary cultures. Although directed primarily to potters, this book is of interest to students and teachers in any field of arts or crafts. It is not only technically instructive but also highly inspirational for human and creative development. Includes numerous photographs by famed photo journalist Otto Hagel of Wildehain, her students and works they produced at Wildehain's Pond Farm studio and school in Guerneville, Calif.
Pottery for Life
Creating with clay is a rewarding process within the reach of anyone, regardless of experience or ability. Claire Botterill, an experienced teacher and therapist, creates a program of eight projects, ascending in difficulty as the student gains skill and confidence. She provides introductory chapters on types of clay, tools and techniques, and kilns, before leading the reader through the tutorials. With each piece, Botterill takes the student through the sequence of acquiring materials and tools, explains suitable techniques, supplies templates, plans steps, and shows finished artwork. Photographs of each step of the projects are included, along with an initial list of tools and supplies and an introduction giving information on the skill level required, as well as recipes for slips and glazes where necessary. A useful list of pottery suppliers provides further resources. This is a practical book for physiotherapists, teachers, and all who work with people with special needs or beginning potters.
