Welcome to your workshop! Whether you enjoy throwing, handbuilding, surface design, glaze testing, or all of the above, we’ve pulled together several things for you to try out once you get back to your studio. 

If you’re familiar with Pottery Making Illustrated and Ceramics Monthly, then you already know they’re packed with practical information, projects, and techniques. The articles shared here provide a sampling of some of the great content in each issue. Download your copy of the Workshop Handbook today!

You’ll also find a wealth of information on the magazines’ websites: www.ceramicsmonthly.org and www.potterymaking.org. Guests can access their choice of articles for free on a limited monthly basis. For more tips and techniques, check out hundreds of free posts and scores of how-to videos on the Ceramic Arts Network (https://ceramicartsnetwork.org). Enjoy your workshop!
