This is a thorough beginner's guide to throwing pottery on a wheel. From centring the clay to developing shapes, Cohen explains each movement, examining the way that the clay responds and the pressures needed to control it, while photographs illustrate every step of each throwing process. The book also includes information on different design approaches and the work of specific potters, with a critique of their pieces.
