Review from an experienced potter,
By Natalie E. Harrop "Natalie Harrop - dragonwor... (Kawerau, New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Potter's Book of Glaze Recipes (Ring-bound)
I am thrilled with this new book I recently purchased, I have had Emmanual Cooper's other books on glazing and recipes - and found them most informative and the glazes pretty true to explanation
I also have found that they are quite stable - we fire in the higher 1260.C upwards catagory and the sometimes glaze recipes unless worked out correctly can be very unstable and uninteresting. All in all a very worthwhile book and easy to use, a definate "MUST HAVE" for your collection

A Great Book for Potters,
By
This review is from: The Potter's Book of Glaze Recipes (Ring-bound)
This Book is a great book for any beginner Potter. It has over 400 recipes for glazes and it also explains how to adjust the glaze ifyou have a problem. I love my Book and I know I will use it for a very long time.

Not as simple as expected,
By
This review is from: Potter's Book Of Glaze Recipes (Hardcover)
I read the reviews on Amazon and thought I'd found the perfect glaze book! However, it doesn't do well for beginning glaze makers. It's cumbersome in that it lists temperature ranges rather than cone numbers. Some of the glazes are pictured on the same page as the recipe but not all, so it's difficult to guess what the colors will look like. Overall, I didn't like the format. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it. I may even return the book.
