- Learn about small changes that make a big impact, making an asymmetrical slab plate, throwing plates, and creating a cake stand.
- Master bisque molds and use them to open a new world of possibilities. Make spoons, a goblet, a butter dish, and more.
- Add complexity for stunning forms, including a pitcher, juicer, teapot, and oil pourer.

With compelling galleries, artist features, and guided questions for growth throughout, this is a book for potters ready to learn new skills and unlock their creativity
