Frank Hamer, Janet Hamer
Now available in its fifth edition, the Potter's Dictionary presents an authoritative survey of all aspects of making ceramics for craft potters and ceramic artists.  With its sound, practical explanations of ceramic processes, this indispensable reference book has gained a reputation as "the potter's bible."  Professional potters, beginners, students and collectors will find comprehensive information clearly and logically presented.  Frank and Janet Hamer explain the sources and character of materials, the behavior of clays and glaze minerals during forming and firing processes, forming methods, and glaze construction.  This newly revised edition has been updated to include auto-reduction, crystalline glazes, insulation, stains, and specialized firing and fuming techniques.  (The 4th edition added new articles on soda firing, paper clay, fuming, printing, computerized glaze calculations, crystalline glazes, as well as inlay, lamination, neriage, the "T" material, kiln construction and control, and safety precautions.) Pottery Making Illustrated wrote: "This book is an alphabetical listing of almost every material, form, term, and process used in or relating to pottery making.  Well illustrated in black and white, with a few gorgeous color plates, some of the definitions are highly technical... other entries are likely to be of great interest to the student."
