who writes them?
The studio. Every guide comes from making pots, breaking pots, and firing in queensland conditions, not from other articles.
where should a complete beginner start?
Start with how to start pottery in australia, then wheel throwing vs hand building. Those two decide your first six months.
Reading about pots only goes so far. The rest is in the glossary, the buying guides, and on the shelves.
