In this collection of pottery techniques, you'll discover scores of great ideas, practical information you can use and seeds of inspiration that you can nurture. showcases more than thirty skilled artists who provide instruction and insights to techniques they use on a regular basis. They've learned from their mistakes, sorted out the good from the bad, and streamlined methods that will work for you. Intermediate to advanced techniques are presented in a well-illlustrated, step-by-step format that will provide years of inspiration.
