Mastering Sculpture: The Figure in Clay: A Guide to Capturing the Human Form for Ceramic Artists (Mastering Ceramics)

Lovely book came in good time

Christina Cordova's book and Domestika course are excellent. Easily explained and followed.

Cristina has several on line courses and now a book. What is so nice with her work is that she shares openly all her experiences and discovered tips.

The best on this subject

A well organized, very well written book, and without a doubt a tool I’ll be referring back to on a regular basis as I try out Cristina’s pattern and slab technique. I’m only a few years into my practice and feel that the techniques in this book are what I’ve been missing to reach that next level of my practice, aiding me in streamlining and building the base forms more quickly and efficiently. The gallery of artists’ work, as well as featured artists and their insights into working with clay and the creative process is a nice touch, and very inspiring. I’ve taken a few of the author’s online classes and she’s a very thorough and excellent teacher, top notch, just like her work, and this excellence is also present in her book. What a gift she is to all of us, and a generous artist, to share with us her gathered wisdom through the decades of her practice. One might wonder if there is something new or unique to learn from purchasing a book on sculpting the figure, other than the basics, especially if you’re past the stage of beginner—I believe this book is one that will not disappoint, no matter what stage of the sculpting journey one is in.

Mi máxima admiración para Cristina

The artist is a real tutor. Thanks for very detailed explanations, photos and templates.

Good resource or reference for sculpture of the figure

Bem didático dentro do tema que se propõe, a representação realista do corpo. O mais interessante é que não é modelagem, mas construção com placas de argila.
