All of the projects are great for beginners and advanced alike. The pictures are incredibly helpful and aid in each of the projects. Once again, I look forward to starting a project from this book. If you're just starting out in pottery, this is a must-have. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the things I like most is they focus on form *by T***N on January 8, 2018* I’m already a potter with several years experience, and I found this book to be a helpful resource. One of the things I like most is they focus on form. Sometimes decoration can over shadow a very simple but beautiful form and this book shows the forms in the bisqueware state. I also like that they explore the different types of vessels as wheel thrown, slab built and coil built. At this wonderful price you really shouldn’t pass up this resource. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.at/products/45467368-making-pottery-you-can-use-plates-that-stack-lids-that](https://www.desertcart.at/products/45467368-making-pottery-you-can-use-plates-that-stack-lids-that) --- *Product available on Desertcart Austria* *Store origin: AT* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
