Practical Pottery

Sus Borgbjerg & Susan Liebe

Description

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.

Here's what you'll learn about making pottery on the wheel:

  • Mastering the fundamentals of shaping and designing with clay
  • The necessary tools and types of clay
  • How to throw, knead and turn your pottery
  • All about a variety of finishing processes – drying, glazing, and firing

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.
