Jeff Zamek
For every successful pot, chances are there are a few that were abandoned along the way.  Now potters can save many of their spoiled pieces by learning solutions to some of the most common pottery problems.  No longer will they waste time and money on a piece that requires only minimal repairing, if only they knew the right techniques.  Author Zamek has experienced just about every mishap that can occur in ceramics and has learned how to either prevent or correct them.  He shares tips and advice gleaned from over 30 years of making and teaching.  Includes: 5 steps to stop shivering; 8 steps to stop crazing, alternatives to salt glazing, raw material substitutions for clay bodies and glazes.  Information is provided in easy to grasp segments to guide readers through new glaze formulas, new clay body formulas, kiln firing techniques, clay/glaze defects, and much more.  Great addition to the pottery book library.
