This book was really enjoyable. I have often been interested in pottery, but finding a kiln to use can be very challenging so it was nice to find a pottery book that does not require kiln firing.
The introduction section of this book was filled with helpful information to help even novices. I liked that the book was organized by season. It was helpful to have plenty of photos to show how to make each project step-by-step. The projects, themselves, were varied and looked very professional. I think this book would be great for any fan of pottery or crafting.

I was excited to read this book because I was hoping for instructions for using natural clay (which is easy to find in nature) for pottery projects without a kiln, like using a fire pit or campfire the way we fired pottery for most of history. Instead, these are decorative projects using purchased polymer clay and air dry clay. They are mostly for things like ornaments and decorations. You do need to purchase a fair amount of stuff for most of them and they are a bit fiddly, better suited for adults than children. I think the projects would end up costing you a lot more than if you just bought the items, but if you enjoy hand crafting little decorative pieces then you will definitely enjoy this book.

I read a digital copy of this book for review.

This book was really beautiful and put together really well. The designs are perfect for someone with a very neutral, minimalist style that is a beginner into clay crafts.

I wish the designs were a little more intricate and colorful for myself personally but it all depends on your style.
