Graham Sheehan introduces beginning potters to low-tech approaches to clay arts that have been used by potters for thousands of years.
After digging and preparing local clay, he demonstrates modeling and slab techniques for making simple hand-built forms.
He then shows how to build a wood-fired kiln that novices can construct in a couple of hours using re-cycled bricks.
Graham fires this kiln and shows the finished forms that complete the clay arts cycle. Drawings and a materials list to aid with the construction of the kiln are included on the DVD menu.
60 minutes running time.
IF YOU ARE PURCHASING MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ABOUT COMBINED SHIPPING!! If you are going to buy more than one item from Artisan Ideas, we will combine them in the same pack to save you money on postage or shipping.
ALL YOU NEED TO DO: If you, as a buyer, are not sure how to combine items yourself when placing an order (honestly, it’s not as easy to do as it could be), we will gladly do it for you.
Simply order the items you want but do NOT pay for them immediately. We will combine them on the same invoice and send it to you with the correct postage or UPS shipping amount.
TELL US BY E-MAIL IF YOU WANT TO USE STANDARD MAIL OR UPS: Standard Mail (aka Media Mail) is more economic but slower, taking sometimes up to 3 weeks, but usually only 2 or less. UPS (domestic orders only) is faster but more expensive. For domestic orders, please tell us your shipping preference by e-mail right after you order (that is, whether you prefer delivery by standard mail or UPS).
We recommend UPS for orders you want in 7 business days (sometimes less) and for orders worth more than $120.00.
FOREIGN ORDERS: For foreign orders we use either Global Priority Envelopes for small books and DVDs, or Global Priority Boxes for larger books and mixed orders. We will measure and weigh your order to determine if we must ship in an envelope or box. For foreign orders it is not necessary for you to contact us about a shipping preference. Use the same procedure as above; order first and pay after you receive our invoice. Thanks!!
CONTACT ME: Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions and also to tell me your shipping preference. I’m Jim, the owner of Artisan Ideas.
