description: Concerned with technique arising out individual need and personality, this is at once a book about one man's growth, a craftsman's journal of observation and practice, and a clear, readable, and definitive book on making pots by using the pinch method. There is a wealth of detailed instruction, accompanied by hundreds of clear step-by-step photographs on making all types of bowls, bottles, sculptural pieces, symmetrical and asymmetrical vessels, "yarn" pots, "body" mugs. Included is a long detailed section on Sawdust Firing - a variation of primitive firing. Charts, diagrams, suggestions, and formulas for blending, inlaying, wedging and appliqueing colored clays together greatly expand the range of the clay and color possibilities open to the potter.
