Description

The essential studio companion for any potter with a broad range of glaze recipes and clay bodies.

The Handbook of Glaze Recipes is an essential studio companion for any potter. Covering a comprehensive range of glazes including porcelain, crystalline and raku as well as stoneware and earthenware, each recipe is illustrated with a useful test tile to demonstrate the effects of opaque, matte and transparent glazes on different clays and at varying temperatures, and numbered for ease of reference.

The book also introduces you to the basics of mixing, applying and adjusting glazes, and correcting typical glaze faults and includes many clay body recipes, including a variety of ones for porcelain, wood firing and even Egyptian paste.

Compiled by studio potter and glaze expert Linda Bloomfield, and based on meticulously recorded tests and research from a large assortment of established ceramic artists, this book is a must-have resource if you wish to experiment or expand your glazes and clay bodies.
