Summary
Whether you're a full-time potter or a lover of decorative arts, youll be fascinated and inspired by this book-the first to detail the process of making architectural ceramics in the studio. After explaining the basics of building, decorating, sectioning, firing, and installing, author Peter King walks you through specific steps for throwing and handbuilding sinks, building a highly dimensional fireplace from a base slab, adding a carved relief countertop to an existing one, and building a door surround using pressed molding. A gallery brimming with works ranging from outdoor sculptural installations to garage door surrounds, illustrates the diversity and creative potential of contemporary architectural ceramics.
