Extruder, Mold and Tile: Forming Techniques
|
| Edited by Anderson Turner
Beyond the world of pinch and coil constructions and wheel-thrown pots lies a vast array of opportunities for the ceramic artist. In Extruder, Mold & Tile: Forming Techniques potters will discover a wealth of information, techniques, and inspiration on topics that span the usual to the unusual as well as the functional to the sculptural.
Molds have been used since nearly the dawn of ceramics beginning with the making of pots inside baskets. The advent of the extruder centuries ago has also served to benefit the artist in the many ways, facilitating work that cannot be done easily, or at all, on the wheel or by hand. With tilemaking, ceramic artists find the two-dimensional aspect of claywork challenging and create astonishing works with both traditional and nontraditional forming methods.
This collection of carefully selected feature articles from Ceramics Monthly and Pottery Making Illustrated, the two most widely read ceramics arts publications in the world, provides advice and inspiration from 26 of the most knowledgeable and talented artists working in this exciting medium.
