Anything can happen when it comes to clay. But you can have more control over the way your projects turn out, with the right tools --
and Pottery Making Illustrated!
Think about all the pots you’ve made that didn't turn out quite the way you had envisioned. Or those times when the form was just what you wanted, but the glazing ruined it. Or the times when the clay body just wasn't cut out for the sculpture you had in mind.
Now imagine getting all the pieces and parts to work together at the same time on the same piece because you have the right information you need at the right time. Imagine getting first-hand insight into both popular and time-honored techniques that can make your life easier (and more interesting). Imagine having your favorite potters sitting right next to you, telling you how they achieve a certain result, explaining to you about that one additional step that you might otherwise have missed.
Stop imagining, because that's exactly what Pottery Making Illustrated gives you. This magazine is like a photographic record of a workshop, showing you potters at work. You'll see first-hand photo descriptions of techniques from inside the artist’s studios, as well as solid information on lots of pottery-related topics. Each issue of Pottery Making Illustrated is like having the artist visit you, sitting next to you, showing and telling you how to put it all together; how to get it right.
Then, after you've gotten everything right, Pottery Making Illustrated will inspire you to try something different. Something new. Experiment a little -- or a lot. It's up to you, because with Pottery Making Illustrated next to you in the studio, you always have the right information right when you need it.

of Pottery Making Illustrated.
Pottery Making Illustrated brings you inside the studios of leading ceramic artists to see virtually first-hand howit's done (or, at least, how each artist does it) from start to finish. You get practical information from experts and professionals, covering everything from wheel throwing and handbuilding, to decorating and glazing, to firing.
Now, you're not going to need all that information at once, in one place, for one project. But somewhere down the line, you'll remember an article like a familiar conversation with a friend; some little detail that just snaps everything into focus for you and helps you add that unique touch to your work. Inspiration comes in many forms. Pottery Making Illustrated is inspiration through instruction.

Pottery Making Illustrated is like a workshop in print that you will turn to again and again. Whether you're a passionate professional or an avid novice, you are going to love this magazine!

Surprise yourself with an experiment in a new direction—even if it's just for fun.
