The Art and Craft of Pottery Magazine Subscriptions

Looking for the best pottery and ceramics magazines for your studio or as a gift?

Buy subscriptions online to popular publications like Clay Times and Pottery Making Illustrated.

Pottery making tutorials can help you master hard to learn techniques.

Photos and illustrations of other pottery artist's work offer inspiring new designs and styles to explore.

This not a comprehensive list, but it covers the most popular and widely read ceramics publications.

My Recommendation - If you only buy one magazine to help you become a better potter, I recommend Pottery Making Illustrated.

In their own words, "Pottery Making Illustrated was created with one goal in mind — to provide proven tips and techniques for the studio potter in an easy-to-understand step-by-step format."

It's something they can use over an over an keep as a studio reference.
