The Beginner's Guide to Hand Building: Functional and Sculptural Projects for the Home Potter (Essential Ceramics Skills, 2) Review: Wonderful pottery book - This is my favorite pottery book by far. Very detailed instructions, wonderful pictures and templates included. Review: Great resource - As usual Sunshine Cobb does not disappoint. I am grateful for any resources and information she is willing to share. Her information is an everyday resource and easily understood. I like that she does not waste tedious time and space explaining in detail all she knows about chemistry, all her knowledge in years of study and practice. Of course, we all know and recognize her level of education and experience. This cannot be written into a book. I value the fact that she does not try. Instead, she gives us concise and practical applications anyone might find valuable. Her patterns are skillfully shared. I really admire her lack of ego and humble nature. Thanks for being you Sunshhine. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #93,408 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Sculpting Technique #11 in Ceramic Art #16 in Pottery & Ceramic Craft (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (202) | | Dimensions | 8.5 x 0.6 x 8.6 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0760374767 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0760374764 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Essential Ceramics Skills | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | October 11, 2022 | | Publisher | Quarry Books | ## Images ![The Beginner's Guide to Hand Building: Functional and Sculptural Projects for the Home Potter (Essential Ceramics Skills, 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cW8yx5XiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful pottery book *by S***C on November 5, 2025* This is my favorite pottery book by far.

Her ceramic wares are aesthetically pleasing and the way she explains her processes through writing is both warm and inviting. With step-by-step instructions for projects, bright, clear, and vivid images, templates, examples from various other artists, and more, this book has instantly become a welcome part of my ceramic arts library! It arrived just this morning and I’ve already read it from cover to cover; I know that I’ll certainly be referring back to this chestnut for years to come! Recommended reading for everyone who works/plays in clay. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Beginner's Guide to Hand Building: Functional and Sculptural Projects for the Home Potter (Essential Ceramics Skills, 2) - Complete Pottery Techniques: Design, Form, Throw, Decorate and More, with Workshops from Professional Makers - Mastering Hand Building: Techniques, Tips, and Tricks for Slabs, Coils, and More (Mastering Ceramics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/399850325-the-beginners-guide-to-hand-building-functional-and-sculptural-projects](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/399850325-the-beginners-guide-to-hand-building-functional-and-sculptural-projects) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
