Review “ Practical Pottery by Jon Schmidt is a great reference book for pottery basics, particularly if you’ve started throwing on a wheel, or are thinking you might want to. You may not be wanting to make your own glazes or buy a kiln just yet, but you want to get a handle on how to throw a bowl or cup or mug, and perhaps on how to add a handle to that mug. As someone who spent a lot of time googling various blogs and videos on how to get started, it would have been nice to have had this book.” ―Jackie Keer, Splash Magazines About the Author Jon Schmidt is a potter and entrepreneur who owns the Mocha Monkey coffeehouses in Minnesota, where everything is served on handmade pottery.
