       pots"--Cover.

       index. 
520    "Ceramics education is something that is typically taught 
       in a classroom studio, where a teacher first explains a 
       series of intricate and subtle movements, and then 
       demonstrates them for the students. The student then sits 
       down at a potter's wheel and attempts to replicate the 
       techniques, but often with less than perfect results. To 
       help both beginner and more advanced potters overcome some
       of the most common frustrations, Simon Leach has picked up
       where most classes fall short, creating more than 800 
       homemade videos available on YouTube that clearly 
       demonstrate core techniques. Lively, informative, and full
       of original tips and techniques, Simon's videos have lit 
       the ceramics world on fire, becoming a must-see supplement
       to most potters' educations. But therein lies the hitch--
       most potters don't want to take a laptop into a ceramics 
       studio, so they must watch the video before or after class
       and hope to remember the tip as they work. Simon Leach's 
       Pottery Handbook is meant to overcome this obstacle, 
       encapsulating all of Simon's basic techniques in one easy-
       to-carry book, from studio design and set-up to basic 
       throwing techniques, to adding appendages, trimming, 
       glazing and firing. Simon Leach's Pottery Handbook is 
       perfectly suited for the studio, as it is portable, and 
       the concealed wire-o binding will help the book lay flat 
       and stand up. For each technique, detailed step-by-step 
       photography captures the subtle, intricate movements that 
       typically fly by too fast to be noticed in a video. Plus 
       the book includes a DVD with many of Simon's YouTube 
       videos; callouts throughout the book tell readers which 
       video goes with each section, so they can both read and 
       examine the technique in the book, and also watch the 
       technique in real-time"--|cProvided by publisher.
