Wheel Throwing
Master the Fundamentals While Creating Beautiful Ceramic Pieces

Follow along with Emily Reason as she teaches you wheel throwing, one skill at a time. She makes it easy to learn basic techniques like throwing a cylinder and pulling a handle, and will guide you step-by-step as you create attractive projects ranging from a mug and a pitcher to a teapot and a tulipiere. Every project includes a list of the tools you'll need to make it, easy-to-follow instructions, and detailed how-to photographs that show you exactly what to do. You'll also find inspiring gallery sections highlighting other artists' works.

Artist Emily Reason takes the beginner ceramist through nine projects, starting from one of two fundamental forms (cylinder or bowl). Color bands throughout point the reader to related information on various techniques, while gallery sections provide inspiration.
