Throwing (New Ceramics) - Tapa blanda

Críticas

A stimulation of creativity and of ideas for the maker ... This is a good book, it has emerged fresh and smart from an update and deserves a place in your library. (London Potters News)

I enjoyed Richard Phethean's book enormously ... [The book is all about] making and wanting to make. The inspiration comes from the continual need to improve, experiment and innovate, whether it's following a brilliant method of making oval dishes (no cutting, no scars), or a nice approach to a composite pot with a little off centre lean. To inspire further, there are little vignettes from some well-known potters ... Excellent glimpses into the working practice of those whose work is so admired and a spur to those whose work is developing. (Shards: South Wales Potter Newsletter)

Reseña del editor

Throwing is an important skill for any potter to master, using only a few tools, the guidance of their hands, and the momentum of a wheel.

Having spent his life making pots and teaching others to make them, Richard Phethean describes essential techniques for working on the wheel with an eye for the practical. He covers a range of forms, from simple domestic pots to more complex vessels, with the aim of building makers' confidence in throwing techniques. The book features clear instructions for creating each type of vessel, accompanied by illustrated step-by-step instructions, which demonstrate the techniques described. It also profiles the work of contemporary potters for whom throwing is a vital part of their practice. Throwing is an essential companion for anyone attempting to master the art of forming pots on the wheel.
