Throwing Large
Throwing large work
is a challenging area and takes a different approach than throwing normal
ware. This book looks at throwing purely from the perspective of making
very large work. It assumes you can already throw, but different
techniques are needed when making large work because of all the added
problems. This book looks at all of these, offering clear guidance on how
to make work successfully, covering the various techniques used (such as
throwing on coils and throwing in sections, or blow-torching work before
continuing to throw), as well as how to avoid disastrous pitfalls. Wheel Thrown

The Art
of Throwing
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 background 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
process, 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.
The Art of Throwing is for both potters and
enthusiasts to understand not just how pots are made, but why they are
made and the factors that influence the way they look. Learning the
language of expression that potters use is a lifetime's work: this book
provides a place to begin. ( 8-1/2" X 11" X 1/2" Hardcover)
