All the common problems, why they happen, and how to fix them. Many would say that only by making and resolving mistakes do we really learn the craft but of course the more experienced potter can often work out what they have done wrong relatively easily and remedy the problem by making a few adjustments here or there in their working practice. However, for the beginner and less experienced maker, problems can often be bewildering and the solutions daunting. In this book we begin with the basic principles of clay production and processing as a guide to minimise problems before they begin. We then identify the most common problems and faults that makers will encounter and suggest ways to resolve them and even use the faults to good use in some cases.
