This review is from: Potter's Bible (Artist's Bibles) (Hardcover-spiral)
I purchased Potter's Bible as a gift for a friend who wants to take pottery classes. She absolutely loves it. When I spoke with her just days after I gave it to her, she said she had read it cover-to-cover three times! She should really be writing the review. It's got some basic techniques and a variety of projects. There are great photos!
