Book excerpt: Your Go-To Beginner Guide In The Art of Making Pottery Crafts Pottery is a huge theme that revolves around a naturally derived organic matter called clay. It is one craft that has served many purposes, from the formation of earthen vessels to the very ceramic plates, cups and pots used in our homes and so much more. Pottery began right when the early men dominated the world, and since then, several techniques and processes have been introduced into the art, making it much more fun and seamless than before. At first, being a potter might be a walk in the park, but studies reveal that nine out of every ten pottery crafts made ended up collapsing. Sometimes, the structures become too thin and then crumble. Other times, the walls could have absorbed more moisture than necessary, resulting in weak walls.

These issues are some of the factors responsible for the complexity of pottery making. That is why this book, Pottery Book for Beginners, was written to provide you with top-level information to ensure your pottery craft comes out just as intended. With this book in your possession, you are on your way to becoming a successful potter in no time.

Your working movements, pressures, and speeds should be steady and consistent at all times Keep your hands in contact with each other and use them together as one tool As you work, keep your body still Don't be timid or scared, but firm and confident. If you are using hand building techniques, if the piece becomes larger or wider, let it dry before you start building. Otherwise, your pieces may collapse under the stress. To prevent them from drying out between work sessions, wrap and spray the works in progress with water. Clay joins work best when clay is either wet or dry, but not dried. Each piece must have the same consistency. For reinforcement, you can use soft clay to cover the joint. It is crucial to maintain the clay consistency while working. This is why it is important to catch it when it is perfect. This is easy to do wrong. Either you are too impatient or too eager and the clay collapses, or you leave it too long and the clay cracks. To stop your clay from drying out, keep it well wrapped. You can recycle the clay by collecting all dry bits and scrap clay together in a bucket. Cover it with water. The dried clay can be broken down into a slurry, which can then be dried on boards and kneaded into a usable consistency. Learn all your pottery techniques, style and patterns... Get Started now
