5.0 out of 5 stars Ceramic bible, September 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Clay and Glazes for the Potter (Chilton's Creative Crafts Seri) (Hardcover)

This book has been my"ceramic bible" for the last 30 years.The best book on the market if you are really interested in clay and glazes technology. I have read it over and over during the last 30 years and it is at the base of my own book: "Substitutions for raw ceramic materials", for sale on Amazon.com. Every ceramist should own one.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book to read if you are serious about learning, December 27, 2000

brant@nmclay.com (Albuquerque NM) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clay and Glazes for the Potter (Paperback)

This is the book we all learned from, over the years i have re-read parts that started to make sense to me, I was growing with the book. People ask me questions all day long, 90% are answered in this newly updated book, gone are the lead glazes of yesterday, welcome are new ingredients like cadycal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitive reference book, October 6, 2005

LMG (Chatsworth) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clay and Glazes for the Potter (Paperback)

Everything you ever wanted to know - and more - about clays and glazes. If you just want a quick introduction to the topic, you should skip this book. If you want a well-written, very thorough, and very clear explanation of basic ceramic principles, this is it. If you want to go even further, delving into the intricate complexities of specific clay and glaze formulations, that's all here too.
