Description
This is a look at the traditional handbuilding methods of pinching, coiling, slab building and press moulding, explaining how to do them. For many years, these methods were eclipsed as throwing came to dominate as a making method. However, in the past 30 years, handbuilding has once more come to the fore as a prefered technique among ceramic artists. These artists are exploring the possibilities that handbuilding provides, pushing back the boundaries and combining techniques in their effort to achieve their artistic vision. This book explores all of these methods and uses the work of an international group of artists to illustrate what can be done with these techniques.
