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.

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.
