Artist Potter - Richard Phethean - Pottery Tutor

Throwing is an important skill for any potter to master, using only a few tools, the guidance of their hands, and the momentum of a wheel.

Having spent his life making pots and teaching others to make them, Richard Phethean describes essential techniques for working on the wheel with an eye for the practical. Theses videos are a companion to Richard's book 'The New Ceramics - Throwing', signed copies of which are available from our online shop.
