Pottery Form Paperback – October 18, 2010

It was very interesting and informative. It cleared up many things that were a bit cloudy to me concerning teapot spout dripping.

This book is well written and clear to understand. No detail is left out by this potter of the how, what, when, and why of the craft. It is a great basic book for people that are just getting into ceramics, or for those that want to get back to basics. I highly recommend it, especially for beginners.

Daniel Rhodes has a wonderful ability to assemble words economically, clearly and instructively. Describing ceramic techniques is not an easy task. Rhodes does it beautifully. In fact, I learned as much about writing by reading this book as pottery-making. The techniques are illuminating and helpful to students at all levels. This is a classic!

Excellent book!! Even though it was written many yars a go the information is timeless and speaks to the beginning potter no matter what the decade.

Daniel Rhodes book on pottery and form was just what I was hoping for.

Like everything about the book. Very informative and lots of ideas for future projects. Easy to follow instructions and guidelines.

If your interested in thinking about the formal qualities of pottery, how they developed and why certain forms are aesthetically pleasing, Rhodes does a great job at discussing and illustrating it here.

The book were in very good condition.
