Library Journal Review

British crafter and workshop presenter Davidson (author of the Peas and Needles blog about weaving, punch needle, and macramé) offers 20 projects that can be made of air-dry clay or polymer clay. She writes that making time in a busy day for creative work can leave one feeling happier and calmer. The projects are simple and designed for all ages; learn to make flower pots, vases, jewelry, or wall decorations. The book also includes recipes for homemade air-dry clay, with different combinations of glue, cornstarch, and water; lists of tools and other materials; and examples of and directions for different sculpting techniques. It should be noted that as a British publication, this book has some British-specific terminology and employs metric measurements. VERDICT Though the title is misleading (pottery usually refers to pieces made from earthenware or stoneware clay, that have been glazed and fired to vitrification for functional use), it contains fun decorative projects for both adults and children.--Sandra Knowles, formerly South Carolina State Lib., Columbia
