Tiles, tea lights, or clay signs for the herb garden - working with clay offers a wide range of possibilities. Even without prior pottery experience, this book allows you to recreate numerous ceramic projects step by step. Simple tiles, impressions in plaster molds, and shallow bowls can be successfully made by beginners. You grow with your tasks. Once you've been bitten by the pottery bug, you'll want to tackle more challenging projects, such as colorful tile pictures for walls or floors, rustic tableware, or a tall light column that adds accents to the garden. From simple nameplates to flower pots, garden spheres, and watering cans, as well as bird baths, nesting aids, and impressive sculptures - the many step-by-step images ensure that the results are worth seeing. Various techniques are also introduced and well described, including throwing on the wheel.
