In "A Potter's Workbook, " renowned studio potter and teacher
Clary Illian presents a textbook for the hand and the mind. Her aim
is to provide a way to see, to make, and to think about the forms
of wheel-thrown vessels; her information and inspiration explain
both the mechanics of throwing and finishing pots made simply on
the wheel and the principles of truth and beauty arising from that
traditional method.
Each chapter begins with a series of exercises that introduce
the principles of good form and good forming for pitchers, bowls,
cylinders, lids, handles, and every other conceivable functional
shape. Focusing on utilitarian pottery created on the wheel, Illian
explores sound, lively, and economically produced pottery forms
that combine an invitation to mindful appreciation with ease of
use. Charles Metzger's striking photographs, taken under ideal
studio conditions, perfectly complement her vigorous text.
