The book looks at how to source or create your own fittings and findings, the problems of design and the practicalities of joining the various elements to create a successful piece. The book is well illustrated both with practical images and beautiful photos of finished work from a range of international artists.Ceramics Handbooks are a series of highly illustrated, practical books for working potters, students and teachers.
