Say goodbye to feeling intimidated by all the pottery tools out there. In this module I'll walk you through all the basic and advanced tools you'll need for pottery wheel throwing. We'll go over which tools you'll need to buy first. We'll also cover what to look for when buying your basic and advanced tools.
