I used to love making pottery in art class when I was a young girl. This book is more advanced than the first time I decorated my pieces. I want to purchase this book for my niece and friend S they are enthusiasts and would appreciate the descriptions and details the author has crafted. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars.

I am a potter from a long way back, I love working with clay and creating shapes that turn into objects that I rather like the shape of and/or I can use.. And there lies my problem I make shapes, but I find the decoration a little more difficult. And this is where these book has been really enjoyable and helpful to me. There are so many option like inlaying, relief designs, so many things to take into account like clay bodies, what glazes, - over glazing or luster and what color, texture and pattern. This book has great examples and information which opens up my mind to looking beyond the shape. Thanks you NetGalley and the publishers for the DRC
