Guide that has descriptions and pictures on how to make a pot.
We are often asked: "How can you possibly make something from just a lump of clay?" We try to answer that it takes time and patience, strength and talent and persistance. The value of practice and more practice cannot be underestimated. One must have a clay of good quality, with just the right characteristics for forming or 'throwing' a pot. Most of our pottery is wheel thrown, but one can make pots of functional integrity and great beauty without a potter's wheel. In the pages that follow we will show some photographs of the steps in making a pot on the potter's wheel.
