Thrown Pottery Techniques Revealed

Apple Press will publish a new ceramic book - 'Thrown Pottery Techniques' by Mary Chappelhow - on 5 November 2001.

An experienced potter, the author explains and demonstrates the basic principles of throwing with clear, concise text. Full colour step-by-step photographs, including 'cutaway' photographs, allow the reader to witness the shaping process from the inside out.

Advice on equipment and clays and an overview of the turning process is followed by 12 simple, creative projects, including vases, a teapot and an oil burner, a cheese bell and a cake stand. Wedging and kneading techniques are covered, as are surface textures and decoration.

160 pages. ISBN 1-84092-337-7. Priced £14.99.
