The ceramic
From these pages the reader is encouraged to enter the magic of form through ceramics, thanks to the extraordinary plastic quality of clays. To do this you need few things, basically your hands, and a great desire to discover. This book offers extensive technical information for working with ceramics: the necessary materials and tools, the essential methods for modeling (kneading, wheel, molds, etc.), for decorating the pieces (slipping, varnishing, etc.) and the keys to adequate cooking, at low and high temperatures. The text is complemented by six exercises, illustrated step by step, that summarize in a practical way what was explained in previous chapters. It concludes with an interesting gallery of works that illustrate the infinite artistic possibilities of ceramics.
