Wheel-Thrown Pottery (DIY Network)
Anyone who has ever imagined plunging bare hands into cool, moist clay and shaping it into a vase, platter, or tile can now experience the pleasure of pottery. Lifelong potter Bill van Gilder has a bounty of time-tested advice on all the basics, and a plethora of fantastic techniques. That means novices will enjoy the advantages of a master teacher guiding them through each stage of the process while intermediates will eagerly soak up every new idea he has to offer. With van Gilder's help, beginners can try hand building, and progress onto the fundamentals of wheel-throwing. They'll get expert tips on shaping spouts, handles and feet; adding texture, color, and luster; and combining techniques to create a variety of attractive projects.
A production potter for more than 30 years, Bill van Gilder, host of DIY Network's Throwing Clay, has traveled around the world to learn, teach, and exhibit his craft.
