| John Hesselberth & Ron Roy |
| Roy and Hesselberth, two potters well-known for
their expertise in glaze chemistry and for their concern for helping
potters make glazes that are suitable for their intended use, have
collaborated to write a book that is certain to become a classic for
potters working at Cone 6. Do you want your glazes to be durable in
use and attractive? Do you want to be sure they will not leach
significant quantities of metals into food or drink? This is the
first book to address these questions in depth. A wide variety of
extensively tested glaze recipes are included as well as detailed guidance
on formulating your own glazes. Do you want to make sure your glazes
don't craze? Or perhaps you do want glazes that craze for a
decorative effect. Do you want to know how you can test your glazes
and pottery to be sure they are suitable for their intended use? All
this information and more is explained in terms potters can really
understand. |

With The Potter's Studio Clay and Glaze Handbook,
the art and science of ceramics is explored with accessible authority and
insight. Whether choosing a highfire clay or applying a high-impact engobe,
any potter's craft will be enhanced and inspired by this book.
Ceramics instructor and consultant Jeff Zamek (Southampton, MA) has
lectured and led workshops for more than 30 years, and has developed clay

| Michael Bailey |
| This handbook, which focuses on stoneware glazes
fired to Cone 6 in an electric kiln, is primarily "a recipe book with
various base glazes and illustrations suggesting coloring oxide
additions," comments the author. After briefly discussing
variables that can affect glazes, glaze components and recipe structure,
Bailey begins with a selection of transparent glazes and their color variations.
Bailey also explores "the idea of unbalancing the glaze in various
ways" describing alumina matt, high-alkaline earth matts,
macrocrystallize zinc glaze, high-alkaline and high-silica glazes.
He then covers unity formula and percentage analysis, and glaze fit.
Final chapters example Jun glazes, orange red iron glazes, lusters and raw
artists. |
