Review: A for effort, but learning pottery wheel is like learning how to bike, easy to say but the fact is all about self taught and learned. Nothing wrong with the book and the techniques in there, however you likely won't go back to the book for posture correction. It is like learning how to swim by reading a book: step1: stroke, step2:breath and step3:not sink. How to achieve that is from your muscle memory and the instant feedback/correction from the in-person teaching. If you've already taken one or two days of pottery workshops this books is not needed, but can't really blame the author on this. Techniques, Tips and Tricks are all very common and can be found more on Youtube. The book teaches you how to throw cups, plates, bowls but does not include how to throw a tall vase. First time I read I learn nothing new, came back for 2nd time few months later to see if can correct my problems and found nothing useful.
