Book Synopsis
The first book that provides a complete overview of glaze. With all the knowledge about raw materials and applications, and attention to all possible glaze and clay problems.
Glazes are an essential part of ceramics. Yet, many ceramicists don't know how to get started. The range of recipes, raw materials, coloring oxides, and pigments is overwhelming. Whether you use ready-made or homemade glazes, you want to know what you're doing. Crystal Clear About Glaze contains stoneware recipes and hundreds of colorful glaze tests, and above all, knowledge conveyed in a clear and structured way. You'll learn about raw materials and their risks and receive practical information on how to test glazes. It clearly explains how to optimize glazes for ease of use, ensuring good, consistent results. The book isn't just for beginners. Topics such as heat work, glaze chemistry, and designing your own glazes are also covered. Finally, there's an extensive section on glaze and clay problems and possible solutions.
