Extruded Ceramics: Techniques * Projects * Inspirations(A Lark Ceramics Book)

Rating:
Summary: It's about time!
Review: It is about time that extruders get recognized for their unique contribution to the ceramic community. This is by far one of the most under utilized and under appreciated tools. There is so much that can be created by an extruder and I am very glad that there is now a book to help extruder owners get the most out of their investment. This book has some really great tips on making your own dies and extrusion projects. A must buy if you own or want to own an extruder. I have a Scott Creek 4" with an expansion box and I love it!
