this is probably the best & most informative ceramics book i have bought (and i have bought lots!). It gives great detail on every decoration method and even includes some great yet simple glaze recipies! Definitly the book i am most happy with of all the books on ceramics i have. Sure, some of the work used for examples would not be to my taste but the method is there and can be applied to anything you design yourself. On saying that there are also some pictures of really nice pieces, but i guess it covers everyones taste. A highly recommended buy at what i consider a great price for what you get! Enjoy! your 'bible' of surface treatments!

My husband and I have been doing pottery for many years and we're always picking up books to get new ideas. This one is the best we've seen in a very long time in regard to variety, unique ideas, and information provided. We highly reccommend it for anyone from beginners to experts.

This book serves as a very good starting guide for beginners. It is so comprehensive that almost all the techniques for surface decoration are covered. It should be unparalleled if further enriched on the glaze part.

A fantastic reference book for beginners to experts. This is one book I have not regretted purchasing as I still often refer to this book for ideas. Potters will find well presented, practical information and photos for most types of surface decoration.

This book is very useful, has clear illustrations and instructions. I am a ceramic teacher and plan to use the book and some of the decorating techniques in my classes.

I have just received this book and it is excellent. I am in the middle of a porcelain ceramics course and the demonstrations in the book are clearly backing up what I have been shown in the course, it is extremely useful and clear. If you are interested in decoration in any form, this is an excellent reference book and worth having in your library.

Outstanding photos of a GREAT variety of surfaces. This book is an aesthetic delight, even for non-artists - or artists who work in a different medium. Wonderful book......

Just checked this book at our local library and found it to be one of the best books I have read on ways to treat ceramic surfaces. The sections are short but very complete with excellent photos for examples. This book is inclusive and it is worth purchasing or checking out from your local library.
