5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for beginners and experts alike.
Great book and resource for beginners and experienced artists alike. Plenty of photos to go along with easy to follow instructions and guides. Would highly recommend this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a well written book that is easy to understand and comprehend
Wow... I have read the negative reviews. All I can say is re-read the book the information is there, and if it is not there he tells you where to find it. This is a well written book that is easy to understand and comprehend. The book is more so about a quick way to make prototype molds using Andrew's unique speedy technique, and how to make lid's that will fit well. He covers the basics well, pointing out along the way the most important things you need to do to ovoid common mistakes before they happen. He gives you just about every possible mold making scenario from 1piece molds to 6 piece molds.The two things that would make this a better book. #1 Certain techniques in the book are not regurgitated. "Wash off the mold soap with vinegar." These seven words are just easier to print than; "Refer to page bla bla on how to wash away mold soap." #2 It almost seems like a few pictures are missing, while some of the other pictures that were included are pointless. I would have been a good idea to give this book to the targeted novice mold maker for a prerelease review.Overall I do love the book and I find myself referencing this book again and again.
4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Book....
This is an essential for anyone interested in mold making & producing molds from pieces you have made & would like to duplicate in uniformity.It also has good examples & photos to explain the process. I would have liked more on the area of the clay bodies used in casting and the unique properties and problems you may encounter vs. the properties of the plaster to make the molds. As references go, this is a probably the best I've read & would highly recommend it for anyone interested in casting.
5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Book for any Slipcaster & Mold Maker
I’ve been involved in ceramics for 25 years, and this book is packed full of helpful tips, tricks, and gorgeous photos. It’s quickly become one of the prized books in my art book collection, and I will be referencing it again and again. If you’re thinking about getting into this side of pottery, absolutely get this book.
5.0 out of 5 stars good resource for getting started in slip casting
I've been a potter for 50 years, but never tried slip casting and wanted to give it a try. Took a couple of books out of the library and this one was the better of the two. The other book had been recommended by well-known potter/author John Britt, but this one was just a little more clear on the 'getting started' information. If you are just starting out with slip casting, I also recommend watching some of the many online videos available.
5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Resource
Possessing a modicum of mold making experience ,I have found this book to be extremely helpful as I explore the medium on my own . It is well written and the pictures are great. I consult it all the time and it has indeed been an essential guide for me as I learn through trial and error. No book can offer the same learning experience as an actual lesson but Andrew's latest offering , ceramicsacademy.com which provides video tutorials , may , perhaps, be the next best thing.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent and comprehensive
This excellent book is an ambitious and extremely thorough survey of mold making and slip casting. In re-reading sections of the book, I regularly uncover additional information that is useful as I gain more experience. In other words, this book keeps on giving: the more experience you have with the techniques, the more you can learn from Andrew Martin guidance and examples. Great trouble-shooting sections.Randy Porter
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for first timer to experienced
Loved how everything is explained well and understandable. I've made plaster molds before but this gave me new ideas of casting.
Outstandingly brilliant. Buy it!
One of the best pottery books I've ever bought. So much unique and in-depth information. Really well written with an easy to understand, step-by-step format accompanied by stunning photography. If you want to do anything at all to do with pottery mould making it will be covered in this book. I especially love the balance of technical information - which makes it so valuable - with inspirational examples of work from contemporary artists. It both inspires and informs, a genuinely brilliant book and one that will be used for the rest of my potting life!!!
Nice Book
A useful book, lots of photos of Art Pottery, lots of information. I wouldn't rely on it as my only source of information but definitely a good resource. Definitely worth having.
