In 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 the 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.
A Potter's Workbook is designed to help students who are just learning
to throw pots, potters who know how to throw but who feel the need for greater
understanding, and skilled craftspeople who enjoy thinking about the objects they
love. |

The Art of Throwing is for both potters and enthusiasts to understand not just how pots are made, but why they are made and the factors that influence the way they look.
