Practical Pottery is an accessible step-by-step guide to creating beautiful pottery cups, bowls, vases, and more on the wheel. Beginning potters will learn to make plates, bowls, vases, and other fine, useful items on the wheel with this accessible guide. This book is an informative and practical handbook for anyone who wants to try their hand at clay and experience the joy of creating fine, useful things by hand.
As you master the basics, you'll apply them to creating a series of progressively more difficult items - cups, bowls, plates, pitchers, vases, and platters. Using more-advanced ceramic techniques, you'll learn to add features like spouts and handles. And you'll explore modifying shapes, designs, and colours to design your own pottery and make each piece your own. Learning pottery techniques takes time, practice, and patience. But truly, there is nothing better than creating your own pottery and then drinking coffee from a cup that you have turned yourself. With this book, you can easily master the techniques—and enjoy the meditative experience of working with clay.
