Average Customer Ratings:
Anyone who has ever imagined plunging bare hands into cool, moist clay and shaping it into a vase, platter, or tile can now experience the pleasure of pottery. Lifelong potter Bill van Gilder has a bounty of time-tested advice on all the basics, and a plethora of fantastic techniques. That means novices will enjoy the advantages of a master teacher guiding them through each stage of the process—while intermediates will eagerly soak up every new idea he has to offer. With van Gilder’s help, beginners can try hand building, and progress onto the fundamentals of wheel-throwing. They’ll get expert tips on shaping spouts, handles and feet; adding texture, color, and luster; and combining techniques to create a variety of attractive projects.
A production potter for more than 30 years, Bill van Gilder, host of DIY Network’s Throwing Clay, has traveled around the world to learn, teach, and exhibit his craft. He is a regular contributor to Clay Times magazine, and is on the faculty of The Art League School in Alexandria, Virginia. In 2000, he founded the Frederick Pottery School in Maryland.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great Book -
This book is excellent for a new potter. The project tutorials are very informative and written to be understood with ease. The accompanying pictures help illistrate every step of the way.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
Fantastic recipes! -
This book is wonderful for the beginner/intermediate potter. It has wonderful recipes. I made all of them and they are true to the colors and textures that were promised. I have hope now that my colors are good enough to market. All recipes are food safe, which is great. I would recommend this highly to any potter looking to advance in both throwing and glazing.
Wheel Thrown Pottery -

Great selections of branded hammocks at

Great photos...don't use the recipes - 
This is a great book to learn how to do pottery. Bill Van Gilder explains fully how to make the different pieces. The photography is great in helping to see how to do what Bill is explaining. The recipe for clear glaze is incorrect (the ingredients add up to 118%) There should not be dolomite in the recipe. Dolomite is for high fire glazes, not mid range. The recipe for red raspberry (beautiful color) should be 7% instead of 3.7 with a question mark. Poor editing of the recipes. Those are the two mistakes I've had to deal with so far.
