Wheel-thrown Pottery

by Helen Weichman

Pottery is part of our history and something we use everyday. But have you ever actually seen how it is made. A beautiful, smooth pottery vase actually starts from a lump of clay. Watch as the potter’s skillful hands and the spinning wheel together create a timeless piece of art. The individual pieces are then carefully dried, fired and glazed to create beautiful, functional pottery for your home.
