POTTERY STEP-BY-STEP By Henry Trevor Here is the complete guide on the techniques of pottery that we have always wanted to publish. Not only does this unique handbook provide a superb, step-by-step photo-and-text descrip- tion of every stage of pottery making, from clay to finished pot; this exciting book presents valuable reference material and a magnificent gallery of pottery masterpieces. The author de- scribes the characteristics of clay; preparing clay for use; ways of making pottery without a wheel--slab, pinch, coil, and similar methods; how to draw a pot on a wheel; how to trim, handle, and decorate the finished pot; how to glaze and fire the pot. Containing directories of schools, museum collections, craft organizations, pottery suppliers, and a glossary of pottery terms, no book has ever covered the subject as thoroughly and effec- tively as Pottery Step-By-Step. Students, teachers, amateurs, and professionals will find this new guide instructive and inspiring. 128 pages. 7~ x 10~. 200 hal[tone illustrations. School Direc- tory. Museum Directory.
