Review
"Anyone who has been lucky enough to take a class with Sunshine will instantly recognize her generosity, humor, and expertise in this book. For all others, it will introduce you to Sunshine’s big heart and organized mind, her sense of form and color, and the joy she finds in making everyday pots. Keep this book close at hand—if you’re using it correctly it should be covered in fingerprints and glaze splatter in no time."―Leslie Noell, Director of Programs, Penland School of Crafts
"Sunshine shares her years of experience working with various hand building techniques to create architectural forms with a strong sense of identity in such an enthusiastic and approachable way that I found myself thinking that she was in the same room with me, sharing her processes, answering anticipated questions, and offering advice."―Jessica Knapp, Editor, Ceramics Monthly
"A must-have book for any potter or teacher, Mastering Hand Building makes me want to be in my studio . . . making pots!"―Bill Griffith, Administrator/Educator and Potter, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts
"For a no-nonsense approach to hand building and vessel construction in clay, look no further. As only she can, Sunshine offers generous and straightforward information for the beginning to advanced artist and thoughtful interviews with many talented artists in our field."―Steven Young Lee, Director, Archie Bray Foundation for the Ceramic Arts
"Sunshine Cobb has established a remarkable reputation for quirky, colorful, and thoroughly contemporary pottery. Her new book is just as remarkable. With an engaging combination of technical mastery and philosophical insight, the author’s ebullient personality fairly oozes from the seams of this terrific new studio handbook."―John Neely, Potter and Professor, Utah State University

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful
Beautiful book and very helpful.
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for any ceramic studio
This is a lovely book I highly recommend it to potters who are new or have been doing this for years. I'm immensely pleased that Sunny goes into studio etiquette and ergonomics. The projects are well written with great pictures and presented in order of complexity. Reading this book was an energizing experience for me, a challenge to expand my skills and think more deeply about developing my own content.
5.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable and informative
This thought provoking book contains both memoir and practical advice for achieving great results in ceramic handholding techniques. I enjoyed reading her history of developing skill with and knowledge about clay.

This is by far the best book on hand building I have ever seen or owned. I highly recommend it to every potter whether you hand build or throw on the wheel. Even wheel throwers will gain tips and knowledgeable in site. The author, Sunshine Cobb, is a young, gifted potter, who will go down in the history of the clay world as one of the best in the business. Her interviews with other potters is a nice touch. Her step by step guide is easy to follow and understand. The bonus...there are templates! Buy this book, you will not regret it. A very small price to pay for all that is jam packed in this publication.
5.0 out of 5 stars I have found some very helpful tips for slab building I haven't used before but am eager to try.
I am an experienced potter and hand builder by choice. I really like the environmental friendliness of hand-building (no waste, and no water needed), and the variety of building styles that can be incorporated. I also enjoyed some of the projects that I found in the book, which gave me a whole new perspective on how to hand build new projects that I'm eager to try for the first time. There were also many other helpful tips on exercises to help maintain muscle stability and avoid repetitive use injury, as well as studio tips and much more. A really comprehensive book that encompassed much more than just building projects!
3.0 out of 5 stars Bought new, received used
The only reason for 3 starts is I ordered a new book and I got a clearly used book. Stains and battered edges and all. I’m not opposed to used, but when I pay for a new book, I expect to get a new book.
Looks great
Book has just arrived and had a quick flick through. Clear directions and lovely photos throughout.
