The Great Pottery Throw Down is the official tie-in to the popular Channel 4 show.

The Great Pottery Throw Down book is a practical and beautiful guide to creating in clay at home. Accompanying budding potters on their creative journey, this book teaches the basics of both handbuilding and throwing techniques before taking you through 20 projects inspired by the show's challenges. The projects are aimed to build on your skills as you work through them starting with an egg cup or mug and working up to a jug or teapot.

Covering a range of topics from setting up your space and choosing the right clay to the basics of using a wheel and the three core hand-building techniques (slab building, coiling and pinching) – this is an essential guide to pottery. The projects include spoon rest, vase, dinner plate, nesting bowls, plant pot, teacup, animal figurine, salad bowl and more. Once you have mastered the basics, finesse your creations with expert tips on decorating, glazing and firing your projects.

Discover the joy of the iconic Great Pottery Throw Down in your own home and open yourself up to a world of ceramic possibility.
