Aimed at both potters and enthusiasts, The Art of Throwing explains not only how clay pots are made—but why they are made and the factors that influence the way they look. Featuring 300 color photos.
Throwing, the art of making pots on a potter's wheel, is a basic skill necessary for the creation of functional pottery. In this well-illustrated guide for studio potters, British teacher and ceramics artist McErlain demonstrates the techniques of throwing practical forms such as jugs and teapots through step-by-step color photographs. He draws on the work of past and contemporary potters for examples of good wheel-thrown pieces. This is an excellent manual for potters at any level and belongs in academic as well as public library arts and crafts collections. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.

The Art of Throwing
I loved this book. I liked how he related the forms of pottery to other natural forms like a bell pepper, the human body, and so on. I connected with what he says about clay and using it in a way that retains it's plasticity and vigor, his appreciation for Shoji Hamada's work and the Zen of it all. Making pottery on the kick wheel has been very meditative and healing for me and he also speaks of this.
