DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn A Potter's Workbook, renowned studio potter and teacher Clary Illian presents a textbook for the hand and the mind. Her aim is to provide a way to see, to make, and to think about the forms of wheel-thrown vessels; her information and inspiration explain both the mechanics of throwing and finishing pots made simply on the wheel and the principles of truth and beauty arising from that traditional method. Each chapter begins with a series of exercises that introduce the principles of good form and good forming for pitchers, bowls, cylinders, lids, handles, and every other conceivable functional shape. Focusing on utilitarian pottery created on the wheel, Illian explores sound, lively, and economically produced pottery forms that combine an invitation to mindful appreciation with ease of use. Charles Metzger's striking photographs, taken under ideal studio conditions, perfectly complement her vigorous text.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThrowing large work is a challenging area and takes a differentapproach to throwing normal ware. This book looks at throwingpurely from the perspective of making very large work. It assumes thereader can already throw, but different techniques are needed whenmaking large work because of all the added problems - it can buckleduring making, collapse if not moved to the kiln safely and warp in thefiring. Not to mention that the techniques needed to physicallythrow much larger work are very different. This book looks at allof this, offering clear guidance on how to make work successfully,covering the various techniques used, (such as throwing on coils andthrowing in sections, or blow-torching work before continuing to throw)as well as how to avoiddisastrous pitfalls. Although we do have bits of information in otherbooks, this would be a handy guide collecting all the relevantmaterial. The handbook we already have called Large-scale Ceramicsfocuses on handbuilding.
