| | Publisher's Note | Give a child a ball of clay and hours of creative fun are sure to follow! From coiled goblets and elegant vases (with impressions of real leaves) to slab-rolled lanterns with cut-out shapes, kids can make so many fantastic things. Help them set up their own "artist's studio" and experience the pleasure of creating fabulous ceramics from scratch. You won't even need a kiln, because there's advice on finding places to fire the clay-plus all the basics on tools and materials.
Handbuilding techniques include pinching, coiling, slabmaking, and press molding, and children will even learn how to shape clay around an inflated balloon. Every one of the 26 projects-shown in color how-to photographs and whimsical illustrations--offers a captivating visual experience. "Clay clues" answer common troubleshooting questions and a gallery of ceramics by youngsters offers inspiration. From the beginning stages of creation to the final firing, these projects rock!
