Art teacher approved 👍
Format: Paperback
I’m an art teacher, and I love showing videos from John’s YouTube when we do pottery. I saw the book and had to get it. Book already inspired one of my students to make the chip and dip bowl! Fantastic breakdown of tools, basic wheel techniques, and the different projects and how-to’s, especially with the step by step pics! ... show more

Inspires creativity!
Format: Paperback
Well written, easy to understand, comfortable to hold and includes answers to all of the questions I have as someone who loves pottery and really knows so little (next to nothing) He doesn't intimidate, instead - actually inspires everyone to get involved if you love making things with clay! I thoroughly appreciate and love this book and will always keep it on hand for reference. Thank you so much for putting it together JTP! ... show more

Very Well Written
Format: Paperback
After watching the author on You tube I noticed he had a book out. This is a great book. Lots of pictures and steps are easy to follow. This is a good book for beginner potters.

Great book for introduction into pottery. However, needs more content on other areas.
Format: Paperback
I expected more about glazing and hints on his e-commerce. However, amazing ideas for the introduction to pottery. The content of pictures aren’t the best either. Better quality of paper could do the work. Overall, good book for beginners.

Great book by a great artist
Format: Paperback
I purchased this book for 2 reasons, 1 I am very new to pottery and this gave me some very helpful tips and tricks, and 2 I know the author! I own a couple of his pieces, and the book was a necessary addition.

Great Starter Book
Format: Kindle
This book addresses all you need to start. I've had a few lessons and this book helps where the lessons were confusing or I just plan forgot. Very much recommended!

Helpful book for both new and experienced potters
Format: Paperback
Good Primer for new potter with good reminders and inspiration for more experienced people as well. Jon brings the sane enthusiasm to the printed page that he has on his YouTube channel.
