Making it more interesting
With every new technique you learn, making pottery becomes more interesting—your skills improve, your imagination expands, your inspiration grows. And with so many techniques to learn, it’s hard to decide where to begin. Pottery Making Illustrated can help.
Pottery Making Illustrated is written by potters just like you—potters hooked on clay and really into exploring just how far they can go with a new technique or incorporating some interesting bit of information.
Experienced ceramic artists freely share their tips, their techniques and their information so you can get the most out of your studio time. They show you successful ways to try new techniques and how to avoid time-consuming mistakes.
Pottery Making Illustrated is like a “workshop in print.” Many of our authors present successful workshops, so they know how to provide you the information you need. And the step-by-step photos allow you to see the techniques from beginning to end.

Pottery Making Illustrated bills itself as “Your Resource for Ceramic Techniques” and they work to be true to that statement. This magazine has a lot to offer, no matter what your level of involvement is in creating with clay. It is practical, very understandable, very well-illustrated, and has a friendly feel to it.
One of Pottery Making Illustrated’s great strengths is its usual article format which gives an explanation of a technique followed by a project demonstrating that technique. Another serious advantage of their articles is that they are written by experienced potters and clay workers, and that experience shows through. –Beth Peterson, About.com

Detailed Instructions Many of the authors in PMI teach workshops or regular classes so they understand the value of including all the details and nuances of a technique. One of the best ways to to do this is to include photos of every step of a technique so you can pick and choose the level of detail you need at a glance. And while the step-by-step instructions make it easy to follow, the projects and techniques are geared to the intermediate to advanced potter. “PMI consistently comes up with new techniques that I and my classmates try in the studio” |
