Description
The ultimate guide to understanding and creating dry glazes.
This book covers everything you need to know to understand and create dry glazes. Dry glazes are used by many potters - Lucie Rie and Hans Coper are well-known examples - and often by ceramicists creating sculpture, where a shiny glaze is not appropriate.
Learn all about slips and engobes, oxides and stains, matt glazes and low alumina surfaces, textured and pitted glazes as well as what makes up dry glazes and how to create them. The book is beautifully illustrated with famous artists' work, as well as many test tiles of examples of dry glazes with their corresponding recipes, making it a valuable resource for ceramicists working in this area or anyone curious to explore the medium.
