Each of the 11 guided projects is illustrated with color photographs featuring the work of the author, as well as those of other talented ceramicists. With this book, beginners will be set up for success, and seasoned potters will return to its pages repeatedly for technical tips and inspiration. Wheel-Thrown Ceramics is a must-have for all ceramicists.
