Creating Life-Like Figures in Polymer Clay: A Step-By-Step Guide
Katherine Dewey Manufacturer: Elvenwork Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0974153001 |
Book Description
The sequel to Katherine Dewey's popular book "Creating Life-Like Animals in Polymer Clay", this time she pulls out all the stops to teach both novice and accomplished sculptors alike just how she creates the realistic figures she has been renowned for over her 30 year professional career. If you aspire to be a figurative sculptor or already are one, this is a book you must have. In her no-nonsense, show-how-it's-done teaching style, Katherine shows with more than 400 full color photos, detailed illustrations, and step-by-step instructions how to do it all. Her modeling methods are not complicated. Rather than relying on classical "muscle on bone" physiology, she teaches how to sculpt exquisite figurines in any scale using her simple applique approach. Her book teaches anyone how to sculpt realistic human figures, but there is much more between the covers of this 144 page resource. From selecting your clays, to making your own modeling tools, to proportioning your figures, posing, ethnic and gender subtleties, facial expressions and posing, costumes in clay, to finishing touches, Katherine teaches it all. As one early bird reviewer put it: "It's like having a master sculptor right here with me step by step".Customer Reviews:

Customer Reviews:
Great tips, wonderful galleries.......2001-04-30
The book is broken into three main sections: forming, surface and firing. The first focus on creating clay objects; both throwing techniques and slab construction are covered here. Projects include making cups, a square covered jar and a slab teapot. The second section concentrates on surface techniques included raw glazing, majolica decoration and using terra sigillata. The third section gives instruction on three different firing techniques including using a gas reduction kiln, anagama kiln and raku-firing.
You are guided seamlessly though each project with step-by-step instructions and photos. In the surface and firing sections the emphasis is on the finishing technique being featured, with basic information on how the object to be decorated was created. Some knowledge of the creation process is assumed. Each projects includes "notes for the studio" that I found very helpful. They give great advice on everything from the amount of clay your glazes contain to getting jar lids to fit correctly.
There are beautiful galleries of numerous pieces after each section as well. Information on the gallery objects includes the artist, techniques used and size in both metric and English measurements. Contact information on the artists is provided in the back.
In addition there are clay and glaze recipes from each artist. There are over 30 in total including a majolica base and Ferguson blue raku glaze. A list of schools that offer intensive workshops in pottery is also included. Although a fully equipped pottery studio is needed to complete most of the projects, this book offers a great overview of processes and techniques for the novice and wonderful examples of finished work for the lover of the potter's art.
outstanding text, elaborately illustrated.......1999-04-05

Michael Coakes IS an outstanding illustrator in his own right, but NOT the illustrator of his sister's book.

Decline of Ricardian Economics: Politics and Economics in Post-Ricardian Theory (Routledge Studies in the History of Economics)
Susan Pashkoff Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0415137225 |
Book Description
The influence of political motivations on the decline of classical economics is an old debate amongst historians of economic thought. It has its roots in Karl Marx's suggestions in Theories of Surplus Value.
This book examines this question from a critical perspective using primary sources, the alterations of different versions of publications by contemporary authors and private correspondence. While rejecting Marx's argument that evidence for political motivations can be found in the abandonment of the labour theory of value the book demonstrates the impact of the role of non-scientific reasons for the abandonment of Ricardo's theory.

Bringing Out the Best in People: How to Apply the Astonishing Power of Positive Reinforcement
Aubrey C. Daniels Manufacturer: Mcgraw-Hill ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0070153582 |
Book Description
"Zero-based budgeting," "Theory Z," "employee participation," "quality circles"-management fads come and go as fast as new car models or trendy clothes. But as leading organizational psychologist Aubrey C. Daniels explains in this eye-opening guide, the key to managing effectively has always remained the same: "Create positive consequences for workers when they exhibit actions and behaviors you wish to increase, and undesirable consequences for the behaviors you wish to decrease." That's what Bringing Out the Best in People can help every manager do. Revealing the scientifically proven staying power of positive reinforcement, Dr. Daniels shows executives at every level how to use his tested performance management system to: define reinforcers that work-and tailor them to meet individual employees' needs; set fair performance measurement standards-and implement and maintain them with minimal cost and effort; provide constant feedback and reinforcement-so employees always know exactly how to improve performance... and when they've achieved it.Download Description
Bringing Out the Best in People, New & Updated Edition, provides the latest and best motivational methods currently in use at such major companies as Xerox, 3M, and Kodak.Customer Reviews:
