Slab-built Ceramics
$34.95
As a handbuilder, I am always interested in how others construct their works, but many handbuilding books seem to cover the same basics again and again. Not this one! This is the book I have been dreaming of -- great color pictures of a number of potters' works with information on precisely how many of the results were obtained. I wish there were more books like this on the market!

Decorating Techniques (Ceramics Class)
$17.95
A great little comprehensive book with innovative and new ideas. A must to any collection of pottery books.

The Big Book of Ceramics: A Guide to the History, Materials, Equipment and Techniques of Hand-Building, Throwing, Molding, Kiln-Firing and Glazing Pottery and Other Ceramic Objects
$35.00
This book shows step-by-step processes for working with clay that are accompanied by written and verbal explanations. The book is comprehensive and perfect for those beginning or intermediate level ceramicists. As an art teacher, I find the descriptions and sequential nature of the book incredibly useful. The book came as described--sealed, new from the publisher. Through Amazon, I found the best prices for the book and am happy with my purchase.

The Penland Book of Ceramics: Master Classes in Ceramic Techniques (A Lark Ceramics Book)
$19.95
This book is packed with wonderful information for anyone interested in works of clay. Lark books are known for wonderful pictures and this one is no exception. But more than just pictures this one is full of information about building, glazing and many clay techniques- this may be one I might need 2 copies of, 1 for me and 1 for the class- (some pictues are not for my ms students- I'll need to do something about that)
