Summary
When the author first wrote The Potters Companion in 1972, it was intended to be a fully practical guide to help students who, in a two-hour evening class, had experienced the frustrations of too little time with their teacher, or too brief a session on the wheel, and wanted to extend what they had learned or reinforce it with reading at home. It was also intended to guide ambitious amateurs to self-sufficiency and up to the point of organizing their on pottery. It is extraordinary how the once-clear demarcations between methods of making have become blurred, and how the most dynamic modern work is now almost always the fruit of combining techniques, like pinching and slab building, molding and throwing.
This book is meant to encourage potters to experiment more widely and aim high, not to be satisfied with adequate results but to relate to the increasing throng of creative artists worldwide who make scintillating work, and for whom pottery is central to their lives.
