Handbuilt Pottery Techiques Revealed Paperback – 1 Mar. 2013

Very helpful book for novice or established students. Arrived quickly and well packed.

Inspired by some of the ideas in here, although as i do not have my own kiln or wheel (part of a class at the moment) I am a handbuilder and found the photos very useful and clearly presented. Step by step photos make the projects easy to follow.

I purchased this for my wife’s birthday. She is a potter who does some handbuilding. Although much of the contents was known to her, it is well-illustrated with useful photographs of the techniques and I think she enjoyed it. From my perspective, it is clearly written and deals with a wide range of skills and techniques which will be very useful for a potter experimenting with handbuilding, although much of it will be within the skill-set of an experienced potter.I found the photographs of cutaway pots very interesting as they clearly illustrate the construction of the pots, their weak points and strengths.

Very clear and informative. Easy to follow instructions and revealing photographs.lots of projects to do. Great for beginners.

really well put together and REALLY informative

Love it, great ideas, well presented.

Perfect!!

It is really good for the first timers.

Very nice book.

Can't wait to start creating things! All the pictures, cutaway pictures and close-ups are great! Directions and explanations of things are done very well and will be easy to follow. I have several books and videos plus I've watched a lot of things on You Tube --this has many of those within it's covers. Lots of information is provided. I think it would is best for someone who's had at least some basic instruction in ceramics but it would also be good for a beginner who has someone helping them to get started. I have taken ceramics classes at a community studio, however they primarily concentrated on throwing on the wheel and provided very little instruction for handbuilding. This will allow me to build on the skills I learned as well as learn some new ones..

Amazing book! it has step by step process of each handbuilding methods, be it pinching or coiling or slab it has easy to follow steps along with pictures of how our hand movement should be when working a particular project. This is book is good for beginners and worth a buy.

Great beginners book for handbuilding - very comprehensive yet simple to follow. Current projects as well.

I love all of Jacqui Atkin books on ceramics. I'm glad I purchased it. Its a great reference tool that's easy to follow and understand. Has greatly improved my hand building skills. The templates are easily copied and can be sized as needed. Templates can also be found throughout the internet and on Pinterest. I recommend all her books.
