Her focus is on reconnecting with hand-building techniques of the past, resulting in gorgeously rustic, one-off pieces that explicitly and deliberately reject the myth of perfection. Step-by-step projects include kitchenware, decorative accessories and more (soap holders, multi-functional jars). All the techniques involved, from moulding to glazing, are fully explained. By the end of the book you will have learned how to create 20 beautifully one-off handcrafted pieces, while leaning into the joys of slow ceramics and the mindful, relaxing, patient nature of the art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyle Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781914239700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160","brand":"Emily Proctor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42769854693557,"sku":"9781914239700","price":22.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_2d30a6f3-6c86-4aaa-b7ff-25033933e8a1.jpg?v=1678839129","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-urban-potter-a-modern-guide-to-the-ancient-art-of-hand-building-bowls-plates-pots-and-more-9781914239700","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
