Description
The ultimate resource for potters and ceramicists seeking to understand, test and create stoneware glazes.
Ceramic artist Andrea Vinkovic presents 1001 recipes, all derived from a single starter glaze, altered systematically to reveal the effects of each ingredient. With clear, accessible language and a 'cooking class' approach, this book demystifies glaze chemistry and introduces efficient testing methods like volumetric blending and triaxial analysis.
Beginners will find step-by-step guidance on glaze anatomy, safety and testing, while experienced makers discover a unique visual matrix of results, enabling deeper understanding of glaze behaviour. The book explores how fluxes and colourants interact, offering insight into texture, melt and colour response across a wide range of materials.
Fully illustrated with high-quality images, Stoneware Glazes is both a practical manual and an inspiring resource for anyone working with stoneware.
