The Complete Book of Pottery Making (Chilton's Creative Crafts Series)
Review Date: 2/6/2010


Older book, but still has lots of good information. Includes sections on slab and coil pots, using a potter's wheel, making and using molds, using a kiln and making and using glazes. I currently do lampworking and have a small glass kiln. Found this book useful in determining firing temperatures and was able to do ceramics using my glass kiln. Made several small pieces using low fire clay and glaze that turned out really neat!

This was a really neat little book which had lots of interesting and useful information: from general info on llamas and alpacas, to types of fibers, shearing/cleaning/storing wool, blending and dyeing colrs, spinning, and even included directions for several knitted and woven projects. The coolest thing is that throughout the book are actual fiber and wool samples taped in as figures! Wish I had my own llama so I could start crafting!
