A unique craft book, Finding One's Way with Clay offers to the beginner as well as to the experienced potter a new approach to making pots. Paulus Berensohn begins with the simple resources of clay and water - and the human imagination, which he feels is present in all of us - to show how his own pots evolved from the simple direct pinched bowl. There is a wealth of detailed instruction - accompanied by hundreds of clear step-by-step photographs - on making all types of pots: bowls, bottles, sculptural pieces, large posts, symmetrical and assymetrical vessels, "yarn" pots, "body" mugs, and new pots that have not yet been made. Included are a long detailed section on Sawdust Firing - a variation of primitive firing (which can be done in the backyard or beach); Exercises for the imagination, to help break out of a creative rut; "beloved bowls"; and an especially extensive and important section on colour to wet clay and blending coloured clays together are explored. Charts, diagrams, suggestions and formulas for blending, inlaying, wedging, and appliqueing coloured clays together greatly expand the range of the clay and colour possibilities open to the potter.
