Overview

Pottery and ceramics is traditionally a very complex mix of expensive equipment, complicated chemistry, and a lot of recipes that look like they might be written in a different language. There are lots of books about what's inside clay and glazes, and recipes to make different slips and engobes, and what happens at exactly certain temperatures inside the kilns. Practical Pottery is NOT that book. Yes, that stuff is important, and yes you can go as deep down the rabbit hole as you want to a never - ending chemistry lesson. But Jon is here to tell you that you do NOT HAVE to know everything to fall in love with clay, pottery, and making handmade art that you can use And while yes, fancy electric wheels, and brand new kilns are expensive. You don't NEED to spend a lot of money to make a great mug (or bowl, or cup). A.brief introduction for beginners to pottery and ceramics, B.why it's amazing to create functional pieces you can use, C.a whole host of different projects, techniques, ideas for anyone, whether you have thrown 0 pieces or a million. D.A guide into the business of making and selling your art
