Excellent high-quality book

If you are just getting acquainted with the topic of clay sculpture and you want to get voluminous basic information clearly and in detail, this book is an ideal choice. I was doubly happy because the quality and design even exceeded my expectations.
The book fully corresponds to the description and really helps you understand and determine the initial set of tools and techniques for working with clay.
It’s great that this book is not just a guide, but also a fairly high-quality example of visual design that inspires you to engage in this activity.
The paper is pleasant to the touch, interesting and structured presentation of information, detailed images. All my friends noticing this book instantly grab it leafing through and study with interest :)
Thanks to the authors and publisher for a wonderful product!
