"The greatest value lies in the doing-in the mailing of the work-and less in the final product," notes the author of this how-to guide. "It's the time spent enjoying the clay and the moment of sculpting that enriches you." He begins the book with a look at the tools and equipment needed for handbuilding, as well as the techniques of pinching, coil and slab building. Drying stages, firing temperatures and surface decoration are also discussed, then Acero demonstrates seven projects-cat at rest, bird on a tree pedestal, bird-human creature, a fish, a head in clay, a standing figure and a wall sculpture.
