Summary
The art of throwing is more than a skilful technique - in order for thrown pots to have meaning, it is vital that the integral role played by materials, process, context and precedent is considered. This book places the practical nature of throwing pots into a wider context, beginning with an examination of some historical examples which provide an inspirational backround to the study. It then analyzes throwing as a language of expression, exploring ideas, how they originate and the way artists develop them. The core of the book deals with the processes, including clay preparation, how to begin throwing, developing skills and dealing with complex forms. Step-by-step photos follow the throwing of various pot types and capture the delicate methods of pulling a handle or fitting a spout. Lavish illustrations of finished work and interviews with leading potters then demonstrate the diverse ways in which throwing is used and the opportunities it presents.
