Modelling figures In Clay. Christmas thumb pot models. The book contains six clay modelling projects with a Christmas theme each with detailed step by step instructions, backed by still photos at each stage. These tell you all you need to know to allow you to create the six clay models shown on the cover. The book is the latest in our "Modelling clay figures" series and it follows Solid Christmas Figures. It concentrates on building clay models based on thumb pot techniques. We plan to follow it by a third sister project book, on the same Christmas theme but in this book we will cover slab pot figures, the three books covering a wide range of essential pottery skills. In the introduction to this book we have again included details of the simple tools that we use and instructions on where to obtain them or how to make them. Enjoy the book and enjoy your clay modelling. Brian.
