Inge Baum: Ceramics for Beginners, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Every Beautiful Piece Begins With a Little Clay.

Some pottery projects turn out exactly as planned. Some become happy accidents. And some leave you wondering whether the clay had its own ideas all along.

Ceramics for Beginners is a guided pottery journal and ceramics log book designed to help you document your creative journey, organize your pottery projects and learn from every piece you make.

Whether you're discovering pottery for the first time, attending ceramics classes or spending your favorite afternoons in the studio, this journal gives you a dedicated place to record your ideas, techniques and results. Track Your Pottery Projects

Each structured Pottery Log helps you document your creations from the first lump of clay to the finished piece. Record your piece name, clay body, cone, date thrown, form, function and studio information. Keep track of your project's progress with a weight log, including the different stages, dates and notes. Record Your Glazes & Kiln Firings

Remember which glaze you used, how you applied it and what happened in the kiln.

Dedicated sections help you record: Glazes and slips used Liner, exterior and accent applications Wax resist and underglaze Test-tile information Bisque and glaze firings Cone, firing dates and results

Because when you finally discover that perfect glaze combination, you'll want to remember how you achieved it! Sketch, Reflect & Improve

Every pottery project is an opportunity to experiment and learn.

Use the dedicated sketch area to capture your ideas and designs, and the finished-photo space to document your completed work. A practical process checklist helps you follow your piece through wedging, centering, pulling, trimming, footing, bone-dry preparation, bisque firing and glazing. You can also rate your skill level, record how happy you are with the result and make notes about what to repeat or change next time.
