Description

In A Potter’s Workbook, renowned studio potter and teacher Clary Illian presents a textbook for the hand and the mind. Her aim is to supply a way to see, to make, and to take into accounts the forms of wheel-thrown vessels; her information and inspiration provide an explanation for both the mechanics of throwing and finishing pots made simply at the wheel and the principles of truth and beauty arising from that traditional method.

Each chapter begins with a series of exercises that introduce the principles of good form and good forming for pitchers, bowls, cylinders, lids, handles, and each and every other imaginable functional shape. That specialize in utilitarian pottery created at the wheel, Illian explores sound, vigorous, and economically produced pottery forms that combine a call for participation to mindful appreciation with ease of use. Charles Metzger’s striking photographs, taken under ideal studio conditions, perfectly complement her energetic text.
