Description

According to Ceramics Monthly, approximately 75% of potters glaze their pieces at mid-range temperatures—and this complete studio guide eliminates the guesswork from the popular process. Along with hundreds of recipes, it explores mixing, application, specific firing and cooling cycles, and all the factors that make glazes work. See how to boost colors with intense stains, washes, and underglazes; achieve stunning results that equal high-fire glazing, and expand the frontiers of mid-range with tips for wood, salt, and soda firing.

    • Worth Every Penny!
I have only had the book for two days, and I already know that I will never be without it. It contains so much valuable information in regard to mixing glazes. He covers the finer details, which is great for a relative newcomer like me. The book contains many images of fired glaze tiles along with the recipes/ingredients needed. It is worth a close read, as there is valuable information on every page. ... show more

    • Great Book!
The media could not be loaded. I recently started doing pottery again and I have been working with Cone 6 oxidation and Cone 7 reduction glazes. I pre-ordered this book a couple months ago and it finally arrived and I love it! The wealth of information in this book is truly impressive! It is a great book for anyone working with mid-range clay and glazes. I've included a short video of leafing through the book so you can get a general sense of the books format (text and images). The basic chapters include: Glaze: An Introduction Why Fire to Cone 6? Materials, Oxides, Colorants, and Melt Tests Mixing Glazes Application Kilns and Firing Safety Overview of Mid-Range Glazes: Clear and White Glazes, Iron Glazes, Shino Glazes, Red Glazes, Green Glazes, Blue Glazes, Purple Glazes, Matte Glazes, Black Glazes, Yellow Glazes, Crystalline Glazes, Ash Glazes, Salt, Soda, and Wood-Fired Glazes. Making the Most of Mid-Range Glazes Cone Charts Feldspar UMF Charts Frit UMG Chart Kiln Wash Chart The book includes a wide variety of glazes. It is organized well with dozens of charts that group similar glazes together so you can easily see not only the appearance of the glazes but also the chemicals included in the glaze. I believe this book is best summed up by John Britt's own words from page 7 of the book. "This book is designed to help the beginner through advanced student overcome the confusion (and perhaps fear) and to help make sense of mid-range glazes. Although it also contains hundreds of recipes, it will go beyond them to explain the principles behind the glazes. By comparing and contrasting recipes within a type and learning the way glazes work, you'll see how potters create variations within a type. This gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to create an infinite number of your own recipes." A great book! ... show more
