Just like having an expert on call 24 hours a day - here are the answers to any ceramic questions or dilemmas you might have. Step-by-step photographs, diagrams and clear instructions will guide you through each stage of your work, or you can dip in for help with a particular problem.
Discover how to improvise tools using kitchen implements, find a shortcut to rolling faultless coils, build the perfect spout and learn a foolproof method for removing a vessel from the wheel without it distorting.
