5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for learning all nuts'n'bolts aspects of clay!, January 19, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Ceramic Technology for Potters and Sculptors (Paperback)
The most comprehensive book I've seen for describing and
explaining the whys, wherefores, and hows of the geology,
chemistry and practical studio concerns of clay. As it is
set up as a textbook, it would be great for college or
university students who want to be sure they really know
their ceramic science inside and out. It is readable and
had many illustrations. One of the most interesting aspects
for me is the repeated reference to the artist's reverse
re-creation of the natural geologic process which form the
clay. The chemistry all works in reverse as we form and
fire our work. I think that's sort of romantic!

4.0 out of 5 stars
chemist?, June 22, 2009
This review is from: Ceramic Technology for Potters and Sculptors (Paperback)
extremely detailed and technical book. contains all of the formulas and chemistry one might need to make and mix clay, glazes etc.
this is not much good for the casual reader in pursuit of additional information on ceramics technique. this would be good for the advanced ceramacist seeking to become an expert.
