Descrição do livro

Clay forgives almost every mistake you can make, right up until the moment it goes in the kiln.

This guide covers the whole arc of making pottery, from opening a bag of clay to pulling a finished, glazed piece out of the kiln. It explains what actually distinguishes earthenware, stoneware, and porcelain and why that choice shapes everything downstream, then moves through wedging, hand building by pinch, coil, and slab, and the fundamentals of throwing on the wheel: centering, opening, pulling walls, and trimming a foot.

Firing and glazing get the thorough treatment they deserve, since this is where most beginners lose work. Chapters explain bisque and glaze firings, what cone numbers mean, how glazes behave and why they run, craze, or pinhole, and how to load a kiln without ruining the pieces beside yours. Decoration methods including slip, sgraffito, underglaze, and burnishing are covered alongside honest troubleshooting for cracks, warping, and blowouts.

It is written for beginners working at home or in a community studio, and for anyone who has taken a class and wants to understand the reasons behind the instructions.

Open a bag of clay, center your first lump, and find out what your hands can do. Start today.
