With this essential guide from one of the UK’s leading contemporary studio potters, learn how to throw clay on the wheel.

While a potter shaping clay on the wheel is both the iconic and familiar image we associate with ceramics, the skill is notoriously hard to learn. Using step-by-step photos and illustrations, Rebecca Proctor shows you how to master the potter’s wheel.

With an emphasis on craftsmanship, Throwing Clay demonstrates the specific techniques required to make a range of elegant modern tableware – mugs, jugs and plates as well as vases and more complex forms such as teapots. In addition, Proctor shares her insights on the art and practice of pottery and conducts interviews with other contemporary makers from around the world.

Including a combination of projects and gorgeous inspirational photographs, Throwing Clay is the ultimate guide for complete beginners and advanced ceramicists alike.

Rebecca Proctor is a potter and pottery teacher specialising in wheel-thrown ceramics. Frequently commissioned by chefs and stylists, her tableware is used in some of Britain’s finest restaurants, as well as being found in homes around the world. Prior to making pottery, Proctor worked as a design writer and author. A lifelong fascination with craftsmanship led her to making pots as well as writing about them.
