Throwing Large

Throwing large work is a challenging area and takes a different
approach to throwing normal ware. This book looks at throwing
purely from the perspective of making very large work. It assumes the
reader can already throw, but different techniques are needed when
making large work because of all the added problems - it can buckle
during making, collapse if not moved to the kiln safely and warp in the
firing. Not to mention that the techniques needed to physically
throw much larger work are very different. This book looks at all
of this, offering clear guidance on how to make work successfully,
covering the various techniques used, (such as throwing on coils and
throwing in sections, or blow-torching work before continuing to throw)
as well as how to avoid
disastrous pitfalls. Although we do have bits of information in other
books, this would be a handy guide collecting all the relevant
material. The handbook we already have called Large-scale Ceramics
focuses on handbuilding.
