Summary: Great introduction to throwing
Comment: Throwing clay on a wheel must be the most exciting, challenging and frustrating part of the potter's art. This is a wonderful book to help those just beginning to throw clay on a wheel to realize the excitement and minimize the frustration.

The thorough explanations and attention to detail are what make this book so good. Everything is explained with step-by-step instructions with a clear color photo for each step in which you can really see what is happening.

The book begins by explaining tools and materials as well as plasticity and shrinkage of clay. There are then simple exercises in placing the clay on the wheel and forming basic shapes. The use of the hands as tools is well emphasized.

Moving on to real projects you will see how to throw bowls, plates, cylindrical pots, vases, spouts, handles, knobs, lids, jugs and a teapot. Throwing a bowl with a cylinder base and a vase is two parts is also covered.

As with the other books in the Ceramics Class series, Throwing Techniques provides a wealth of essential lessons. You'll need to practice but there isn't a better book to show you how it's done.
