Extruded Ceramics: Techniques * Projects * Inspirations (A Lark Ceramics Book)

It's one of the most useful -- and unjustly neglected -- tools of the ceramicist, turning out tubes of clay in a variety of shapes that make great handles and lids, coiled pots, and so much more. With hundreds of how-to photos and in-depth instruction, this is a wonderfully colorful and complete guide to the subject. 10 projects -- from cups and bowls to unusual sculptural items -- teach budding potters the basics and build on their skills. Plus: an extensive gallery of the best contemporary extruded work.
