Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pottery Made Easy This book is the result of fifteen years of work and experimentation with instructional material in ceramics in the industrial-arts depart ment of Oakwood High School, in Oakwood, a suburb of Dayton, Ohio. It comprises instruction sheets on pottery, intended for junior or senior-high-school levels, which conform to modern educational principles, and are so systematized and simplified as to be suitable either in the classroom or for the self-instruction of the more mature who wish to become acquainted with this fascinating craft. Pottery is becoming more popular every year, both as a hobby and as a unit in the industrial-arts program. This growth finds justification in many ways. Being perhaps the oldest of the arts, pottery has played and continues to play a very important part in our everyday life. Its interests are broad and varied. It includes the historical, the ethmo graphic, the artistic, and the technical. In it are combined the skills of the craftsman, the artist, and the scientist, for the true potter must possess deft hands, know design, and be something of a chemist, a geologist, and a physicist. It has been said that pottery records the touch and the feeling of the worker better than can be done in most other crafts, and that it carries art into the common things of life, combining the useful with the beautiful. It is an activity in which art and skill are everything - the material nothing. It is a craft in which creative work can be made most enduring. It Widens the viewpoint of the student, and allows him to explore further into the field of industrial activity. It affords interesting opportunities for art training in several wholly different types of decoration, and provides a leisure-time hobby of absorbing interest.
