How to make pottery without a wheel - A pocket how to do it

Pottery need not be a complicated business involving a lot of expensive apparatus, for a wide range of attractive pots, tiles, plates and dishes can be made with ordinary household equipment. Kenneth Drake takes the beginner through each stage of simple pottery, explaining hoe to buy and prepare the clay, how to handle it, and how to make a variety of useful objects in exciting shapes. He covers coiled, slab and pinch pottery, and also deals with making paster moulds, exploring decorative techniques, and glazing and firing. Over 100 black and white photographs, 4 pages of full colour, and numerous diagrams provide a step-by-step commentary which tells the beginner all he needs to know.
