Ever since the invention of the potter's wheel, thrown pottery has dominated in the West. This historical dominance means we must look to cultures such as African or Indian American, which never learned or accepted the use of the wheel. This book derives inspiration from the pottery of these cultures and examines both contemporary and traditional ceramics. As a guide to one of the simplest and oldest forms of pottery, it adopts a practical and technical approach aimed at all skill levels. It covers a range of techniques including pinched pot, wedge clay, wing porcelain, coiling, rims and feet, composite pots and slabbing.
