Review by Library Journal Review

This guide for working with clay on the potter's wheel is a companion to van Gilder's television show, Throwing Clay, which airs on the DIY network. It has step-by-step projects for both beginning and advanced potters, with excellent detailed photographs of each step. The pots are contemporary-style utilitarian ware, such as bowls, plates, and pitchers. The television tie-in will make this a popular selection for public libraries. (c) Copyright 2010.
