The section about coil building is excellent tho slightly different from traditional instructions as it has its roots in Korean and Japanese large-scale pottery making (sp. Onggi.) I dont see this book so much as a project book (tho there are a few) as a textbook for beginner students in either an academic or clay center setting. Given that one only sees a teacher once or twice a week and there is plenty of competition for their time and attention; this book fills the gap for students looking for answers to basic questions that might come up while working out their pot making techniques. I bought a couple of other books at the same time ("Throwing" and "Hands in Clay") which are both very good but I seem to open this one more often at this stage of my learning (about 3 months into studying pottery again after 35 years of painting.) I have the Kindle version for my Fire and it is very well done; easy to read with nice color.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Easy to understandBy JGreat for beginners0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Comprehensive; But Should Not Be Your Only Ceramics Book!By MashaThis book is mainly about the "big picture" of ceramics; the basics; and how to set up your own studio. If you read it from cover to cover; youll get a very good idea of what it takes (a lot!) to have your home ceramic studio up and running. There are also very good chapters on glaze and clay basics; and lots of practical advice and tips. It covers all areas of ceramics at least moderately well; sometimes very well. But in the "how-to" projects section; there are some problems; and there are other books out there; specific to hand-building; wheel-throwing; and surface design; that are much better in terms of projects for learning. Of course; nothing beats actual classroom time! That being said; the book accomplishes its purpose of giving the reader a comprehensive overview. Very well done.
