Craft

Pinching is a wonderfully direct method of interacting with clay, capable of making a myriad of forms, usually small, and requiring the minimum of tools. With this superb collection of pinched projects, Jacqui Atkin, a widely respected ceramics teacher and author, shows what this simple technique is able to achieve. Each project is explained with step-by-step sequences and plenty of options for surface decoration and glazing techniques. There's something to suit all making preferences, from the functional to the purely decorative, including imaginative sculptural works. Book jacket.
