This guide focuses entirely on the surfaces of clay objects. Artist Burnett con-siders ceramic vessels, plates, sculpture, and other objects simply as drawing and painting surfaces. The first section covers methods for mark making that are specific to clay, such as slip and staining, as well as more generai techniques that also work well on ceramic objects, such as stenciling and decals. The remainder of the guide deals with various principles of printing on clay, including screen printing and image transfer. Step-by-step projects demonstrate each method. The book is richly illustrated with works by contemporary ceramics artists. VERDICT Intermediate and experi-enced artists with some existing ceramics skills can find much inspiration here.
