Two years in to pottery, and I didn’t think I would want a book, but I’m very glad I bought this one. Extremely thorough, but not tedious. Well-versed, but simple for the beginner. Beautiful photos, great ideas, easy to follow organization. From set-up to finishing touches. I’m glad to be making room for this in my home.

Better than described.
