Throwing is a skill that many potters try to master at one time or another. It
requires patience, time and lots of practice. In Throwing Pots, Phil
Rogers takes the reader through the basic principles of throwing and in step-by-step
illustrations shows how to make a wide range of pots from the simple bowl to the
more complex forms of teapots and jugs. He also discusses the aesthetics of pottery
as well as turning, how to make lids and spouts and where to see fine pots to
use as inspiration. This book is designed to be used in conjunction with professional
tuition and as a useful guide when practicing alone.
Part of the Ceramics Handbook series: conceived as an introduction to various topics and techniques relating to the use of clay. Aimed at the student or the practiced ceramicist experimenting in a new area.
