Abstract
This paper explores the craft of ceramic pottery wheel throwing, specifically preserving and transmitting the embodied knowledge required during the early stages of the process. The study introduces an augmented reality (AR) prototype that provides real-time visual guidance through an overlay aligned with the user’s own hands while throwing on the wheel. The prototype is designed to support motor learning without disrupting the tactile and material qualities of the traditional craft. To evaluate its effectiveness, the prototype is validated by experienced ceramicists and tested through beginner participants in a comparative study (AR vs YouTube). Results indicate that experts do not have additional confidence in effectiveness for beginners with the AR prototype. There is a substantial variability with transmission and execution of ceramics techniques. Additionally, the use of mobile based AR faced difficulties due to the physical obstruction currently present. In the comparative beginners study, the YouTube approach was perceived as more clear. While the AR prototype as more flexible and providing increased spatial awareness.
