New publication: From a Slab of Clay by Daryl E. Baird
“Working
with clay slabs offers more opportunities than any other forming
process. From small dishes and plates to architectural installments,
slabs can be used to create any form, any size. When Daryl E. Baird took
notice of all the work being done with this technique, he decided to
explore it in depth then open the doors for others to enjoy. In From a Slab of Clay
you’ll learn about what it takes to start out on a journey that’s sure
to last a lifetime. From setting up a proper working space to selecting
the right tools and equipment—including complete instructions for
building your own slab roller—Daryl doesn’t miss any details for you to
consider to assure your success.”
