This review is from: Celadon Blues: Re-create Ancient Chinese Celadon Glazes (Paperback)
This is about the history and Chemistry needed to create these glazes. This book does not provide recipes as I had hoped. However it does provide all the science and background you would need to formulate your own glazes. Definitely for the more advanced ceramic artist who wants to create glazes from scratch. Maybe one day this book will be use full to me but right now it is over my head.

This review is from: Celadon Blues: Re-create Ancient Chinese Celadon Glazes (Paperback)
The large font used together with the layout is rather off-putting. The text is hard to read, tends to waffle before getting into any information. Being a book about a glaze and having black and white photos really doesn't give you much of an idea of colour variations. B/W works fine if we are discussing form but this is a book on glaze.

celedon blues,
By hans neprud (ventura ca) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Celadon Blues: Re-create Ancient Chinese Celadon Glazes (Paperback)
A must for any serious potter trying to duplicate ancient chinese blue celedons. This book is not only a fascinating history on the subject, but a comprhensive study on the hows and whys of achieving this elusive glaze. Although not a book of formulas, one will recieve all the information one needs to easily duplicate this glaze in all its variations.
