    • Ideas for the simple potter
You can do a lot with a pinch pot. This book explains some of the techniques that can be used. I had my handbuilding teacher look through this and he said it was a good buy.

    • Amazing, easy to use book.
I could (and have) just read this for hours, it walks through each step of each project in such detail, tells you what tools you need, and shows you new techniques you can use elsewhere in your practice. It's a great gift for someone who is doing hand-building from home!
