Surface Decoration Techniques (Ceramic Arts Handbook)

Great inspirational reading for the beginning ceramicist

Stunning book!!

This has a lot of great ideas, but for an advanced beginner, not enough detail on how it was made or glazed.

I just ordered 9 of these handbooks. The more I looked through them, the madder I got!!! 1) They're just an assortment ofpreviously printed articles, sometimes related, sometimes NOT, 2) Their Modus Operandi is to offer half new material, and the other half is articles that appear in ONE OR MORE of their other books!!! It's just a MONEY MILL of DUPLICATE articles with a new covers and new titles! Mostly an OVERPRICED RIPOFF!!!Get them from your local library, or have them order them, via Inter Library Loans.

Nicely illustrated and clearly written.Happy with purchase, although not as experimental as I'd hoped, hence the 4 stars.

Excellent lots of good photos and information
