Perfect for those starting out! This short but to the point lil’ book goes over the basics and allows you to dive deeper into a topic through its hot links. With such a tactile, visual craft, the links take you to a video of each topic to learn from (or practice along with) without getting lost in the rabbit-holes of information on ceramics!
Great for teachers or studio owners looking to get organized and input their own rules and information into the book. (Send it out to the class or members to browse through and use as a sharable studio procedures template) The template is made on Canva, a website that is easy to use and 100% FREE to edit and download your own version.
This book started out as a google doc for my clay members to view the studio procedures while I was out of the studio. It quickly turned into a bigger, more all encompassing overview of the clay process and a clay lab. Although designed specifically for my studio, I thought this reference book could be helpful for anyone interested in learning more about ceramics or those with studios wanting to modify it with their own rules and regulations. No matter how you use this downloadable book, I hope it helps you along your creative journey!
