WUVIE Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 If only I had a dollar for every pottery book borrowed from the local library. Today I visited once more only to find myself leaving with an armload of great books, some I've borrowed previously, others apparently fresh on the shelf through inter-library loan. Though we love to buy books, hubby and I are both book lovers, and have come to the sad realization that borrowing beats buying when one runs out of room. The first of the stack is 'Basic Pottery Making' - All the skills and tools you need to get started - Linda Franz. I can't stop looking in this one! I've only perused to page 34 and am already excited about making a bowl, though I realize that is quite a bit down the road. Other titles picked up: HAND BUILDING - Ceramics for beginners - Shay Amber PRACTICAL GUIDE TO POTTERY - Colin Gerard INTRODUCTION TO POTTERY - A step-by-step project book - Linde Wallner HANDBUILT CERAMICS - Pinching, coiling, extruding, molding, slip casting, slab work - Kathy Triplett THE CERAMIC GLAZE HANDBOOK - Materials, techniques, formulas - Mark Burleson EXPLORING ELECTRIC KILN TECHNIQUES - A collection of articles from Ceramics Monthly - Sumi von Dassow BUILDING YOUR OWN KILN - 3 Japanese potters give advice and instructions - Hiromi Itabashi, Roppo Tamura, Naoki Kawabuchi ALTERNATIVE KILNS & FIRING TECHNIQUES - Raku, saggar, pit, barrel - James C. Watkins, Paul Andrew Wandless CLAY: HAND BUILDING - Maurice Sapiro Do you have any favorites? Any memorable books that stick with you, or were more helpful than others?

buckeye Posted October 29, 2011 Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 So weird! I have spent most of my evening under the blankets with a small electric heater on me looking at a book I have on building kilns. I have one other book that pertains to pottery and I have worn both out and was thinking tonight I need to get more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
