This book was formerly published in hardcover as Ceramics for Beginners: Wheel Throwing. Featuring the same bright, open design as Ceramic Studio: Hand Building, this second entry in the series offers an introduction to the mechanics of wheel-thrown ceramics. Artist Emily Reason takes beginners through nine projects, including a mug, pitcher, teapot and fluted baking dish. Starting from one of two fundamental forms (cylinder or bowl) she covers such basics as centering, pulling a handle, trimming, firing and glazing. Colour bands throughout, point the reader to related information on various techniques, while gallery sections provide inspiration.
