The Beginners Guide to Ceramics is the first educational Zine we’ve launched! The intent is to have a quick and simple but simultaneous informative reference guide whilst in the studio creating (Spark Notes for potters if you will.) As an instructor myself I brought my knowledge of the classroom and the most repeated questions to paper. This is ideal for people who want a supplementary guide in classes or for those who need refreshers. Below is a breakdown of what type of information you can find in Vol. 1!

In this first 7 page rendition we have 5 pages of content; 1) Cover, 2) Tools & Terms, 3) Wheel Throwing: Posture, breakdown of each hand used while centering up & down, 4) Wheel Throwing: breakdown of each hand opening, compressing, pulling walls, and tips, 5) Slab Building: steps on rolling out a slab, 6) Coil Building: steps and tips on coil building, 7) Contact Page.

*NOTE: From the perspective of right handed persons. If you are left handed the instructions are the same please just flip the instructions per hand and have your wheel turning clockwise.
