Creating with clay is a rewarding process within the reach of anyone, regardless of experience or ability. Claire Botterill, an experienced teacher and therapist, creates a program of eight projects, ascending in difficulty as the student gains skill and confidence. She provides introductory chapters on types of clay, tools and techniques, and kilns, before leading the reader through the tutorials. With each piece, Botterill takes the student through the sequence of acquiring materials and tools, explains suitable techniques, supplies templates, plans steps, and shows finished artwork. Photographs of each step of the projects are included, along with an initial list of tools and supplies and an introduction giving information on the skill level required, as well as recipes for slips and glazes where necessary. A useful list of pottery suppliers provides further resources. This is a practical book for physiotherapists, teachers, and all who work with people with special needs or beginning potters.

Griot Potters of the Folona reconstructs the past of a particular group of West African women potters using evidence found in their artistry and techniques. The potters of the Folona region of southeastern Mali serve a diverse clientele and firing thousands of pots weekly during the height of the dry season. Although they identify themselves as Mande, the unique styles and types of objects the Folona women make, and more importantly, the way they form and fire them, are fundamentally different from Mande potters to the north and west. Through a brilliant comparative analysis of pottery production methods across the region, especially how the pots are formed and the way the techniques are taught by mothers to daughters, Barbara Frank concludes that the mothers of the potters of the Folona very likely came from the south and east, marrying Mande griots (West African leatherworkers who are better known as storytellers or musicians), as they made their way south in search of clientele as early as the 14th or 15th century CE. While the women may have nominally given up their mothers' identities through marriage, over the generations the potters preserved their maternal heritage through their technological style, passing this knowledge on to their daughters, and thus transforming the very nature of what it means to be a Mande griot. This is a story of resilience and the continuity of cultural heritage in the hands of women.
