An article by Andi Fasimpaur appeared in the summer 2001 issue of Pottery Making Illustrated, the article, which is reprinted here, details the process by which Andi makes the roulettes which she uses to create the bands of repeated pattern so often seen on her work. The article is also reprinted in the book Pottery Making Techniques: A Pottery Making Illustrated Handbook published by the American Ceramic Society. The book is available directly from ACERS or from Amazon.com. I strongly recommend the book, not just for my own article but for the wealth of other information that it contains.
