These are the ceramics books I got this Christmas:
From Mud to Music, about ceramic musical instruments. From flipping through the pages, I can already tell that it has the luscious photos and informative descriptions I was hoping for. It reignites my interest in Xun, which I found during
my trip to Taiwan in July.
Paperclay by Rosette Gault, which I will probably read through and then put aside until I have the time to devote to exploring this alteration to the ceramic medium. Is it possible to slipcast with paperclay?
And last but not least, the
Prop Builder's Molding and Casting Handbook. I have found that I need more than the book I already own,
The Essential Guide to Mold Making and Slip Casting, which is a great introduction to plaster mold making but which doesn't quite answer all of my questions. The Prop Builder's book supposedly has a lot of information on casting not only plaster but also other materials, so I hope coming at the process from another angle will help me design and build the molds I have in mind.
