Hand Thrown with Joyce Michaud

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, Joyce Michaud’s thorough measured approach to this time-honored coiling method is sure to open new avenues of expression. It’s a technique that produces compressed, aligned and strong structures that resist cracking or slumping.
