The Beginner's Guide to Hand Building: Functional and Sculptural Projects for the Home Potter (Essential Ceramics Skills, 2)

This is my favorite pottery book by far. Very detailed instructions, wonderful pictures and templates included.

Sunshine’s style is truly delightful. Her ceramic wares are aesthetically pleasing and the way she explains her processes through writing is both warm and inviting. With step-by-step instructions for projects, bright, clear, and vivid images, templates, examples from various other artists, and more, this book has instantly become a welcome part of my ceramic arts library! It arrived just this morning and I’ve already read it from cover to cover; I know that I’ll certainly be referring back to this chestnut for years to come! Recommended reading for everyone who works/plays in clay.

Excellent reference book for beginner potters. Well explained, nicely illustrated, easy to comprehend

Love the book, and content. However, it's listed as a hardcover, and it's not.

As usual Sunshine Cobb does not disappoint. I am grateful for any resources and information she is willing to share. Her information is an everyday resource and easily understood. I like that she does not waste tedious time and space explaining in detail all she knows about chemistry, all her knowledge in years of study and practice. Of course, we all know and recognize her level of education and experience. This cannot be written into a book. I value the fact that she does not try. Instead, she gives us concise and practical applications anyone might find valuable. Her patterns are skillfully shared. I really admire her lack of ego and humble nature. Thanks for being you Sunshhine.

Love this book! The easy to follow instructions, great pictures, and I love seeing work from other artists. Very exciting and inspiring!

The book is great,but it is not a hardcover as described. It is a paperback book.

Very through for what I needed. It has helped a lot in my pottery class. They didn't really go into the basic, so I purchased this book. It has filled in the gaps
