Glazes from Natural Sources A Working Handbook For Potters

Any real education in ceramics must involve, from the outset, an appreciation of the source materials - the rocks around us. While good, throwable clay may be a regional commodity, there is no part of the world that will not yield potential glaze materials in abundance. Potters therefore need to know how to exploit the special properties of local rocks quickly, reliably, and methodically. This new edition of Brian Sutherland's classic book on making glazes from natural sources explains how to locate glaze material and construct, test, and use the glazes created.Sutherland, Brian is the author of 'Glazes from Natural Sources A Working Handbook For Potters' with ISBN 9780812219456 and ISBN 0812219457.
