Full Description

Learn how to throw clay on the wheel with this essential guide from one of the UK's leading contemporary studio potters.

Whilst a potter shaping clay on the wheel is both the iconic and familiar image we associate with ceramics, the skill is notoriously hard to learn. Using step-by-step photos and illustrations, Rebecca Proctor shows you how to master the potter's wheel.

With an emphasis on craftsmanship, Throwing Clay demonstrates the specific techniques required to make a range of elegant modern tableware - mugs, jugs, plates and more as well as vases and more complex forms such as teapots. In addition to detailing the processes required to create each piece, Proctor features beautiful examples of finished ceramics from other contemporary makers based around the world.

Including a combination of projects and gorgeous inspirational photographs, Throwing Clay is the ultimate guide for complete beginners and advanced ceramicists alike.
