Krause Coiled Pottery Coiled Pottery
Coiling, a controlled method of hand-building often used to produce works of great authority and sophistication, requires only a few ingredients--clay, water, hands, and the simplest of tools. This technique of adding clay in layers allows freedom in the construction process-it can be as inventive, limited, spontaneous, formal, disciplined, or careless as the maker chooses. Describing methods of both contemporary and ethnic potters, Betty Blandino uses historical examples of coiled pottery to guide readers through the creation process--from starting the pot and adding the base to decoration methods and firing variables. Potters are encouraged to explore various details obtained through different pinching, flattening, and shaping methods. Paperback book measures 7 in. x 9 in., 350 pages with 100+ black and white photos and 50 color photos. Krause. ISBN 0873498062
