Anyone who has ever rolled a “snake” out of clay or pinched a piecrust can easily complete the 12 skill-building projects here. Master teacher Susan Halls explores four basic techniques: pinching, slab building, coiling, and dowel work. Learn how to pinch a pot with a deep bowl shape, and use this technique to construct a plump pig. With the slab building method, you can make an enchanting bird-relief tile or turn a favorite family photo into a delightful diorama. The book also offers invaluable advice on setting up a studio or home workspace, using slips, and choosing a glaze. Galleries featuring a range of ceramic work illustrate the creative possibilities of each featured technique.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Lark Crafts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44664159633461,"sku":"ByrdShop_1454710608","price":161.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1454710608_c1a2b456-cc72-4725-b0ad-ab46f49972c8_b4dfba0c-aaa2-42ad-9d07-1bbc14ffb47c_693f7c1b-c6d2-4ead-b0f5-95501dba4d17_59154756-d1eb-4485-acd3-6bc1b08a109b.jpg?v=1792435454","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/ceramics-for-beginners-animals-figures-9781454710608","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
