About this book
The Craft of Athenian Pottery, by Gisela M. A. Richter, is an investigation of the technique of black-figured and red-figured Athenian vases. The writer says that, realizing her own ignorance on the many questions of clay-working, she went to a modern pottery school. The essay is an attempt to revise the current theories of the technique of Athenian pottery in the light of practical experience.
The text says that some surprising theories regarding the technique of Greek vases have been repeated over and over again in books on vases. A group of figures described in the text shows a man throwing a tall vase on a wheel while a boy sits before him on a low stool, turning the wheel with both hands.
