5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of knowledge in here, I feel spoiled!
I just started ceramics this year, and leafing through this book is like going through a treasure trove of secrets that I feel like I'm not supposed to know yet. It makes me excited to try out everything inside, and it lays out the techniques into little projects to try! 10 out of 10!
5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Buy
A wonderful resource with beautiful photography
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent books with projects to learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book
Really nice book. Got it for niece that does pottery and she was so excited to get it
4.0 out of 5 stars Lots of pictures but carving not as much as expected & spends time on wheel work, too
This book has lots and lots of pictures. It is is easy to read and what they show is often very clear. The book first goes over types of clay and then shows you the tools you use for carving or sgraffito. After that it shows you how to build the basic forms (mainly on the wheel) and then how to carve different designs. Some of the carving sections are very slow and methodically detailed. (Which I love!) And then there are pages which just show the end product as examples of what you could do. I found this a tad disappointing as there were a couple of texturing and carving photos/tiles where I wasn't exactly sure how they were made. In those cases I wish they had shown actual instruction. Also it seems that the patterns need more precision and using a ruler or making guide would help making them more evenly placed. Another thing is that this book has many photos dedicated to wheel work and not carving. It does not really go over how to how to hand build basic shapes so people without a wheel or with less experience making shapes maybe limited to tiles or slumped shapes like bowls.Yes, this is about carving but it is should be titled Sgraffito and Wheel Work instead. It is a solid book with beautiful pictures and the price is good for what you get but the actual carving instructions do not fill up most of the book and some buyers might be disappointed with the 'lean' carving content. Therefore, going through this book is very fast if you are only interested in ideas for carving. However, what the author does go over in sgraffito is done very well.
5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice

5.0 out of 5 stars Best carving techniques I’ve seen!
This book is clear, straight-forward, simple, and well-illustrated. I’m going to try every technique that she has demonstrated in it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book with great information!
I love ceramics that comes with texture and warmth. This book will help me to have more knowledge and technics to explore at the ceramic classes I go to. I’m excited to try what I learn through the book! This book has more information than I expected. Also I am a fan of her ceramic and the book has beautiful photos.
Buone ispirazioni
Ho trovato diversi spunti da cui partire: suggerimenti tecnici e ispirazione
Needs improvement
Ithink that that are some pictures that needed more explanation or subtitle. She shows the carving with the tools but is difficult to identify witch tool made wich one of the carvings.
Absolutely recommend this Book
