Format:Paperback
This excellent book by Linda Bloomfield contains invaluable information about the formulation of glazes. Linda has a science background and a sure grasp of her subject. The writing is clear and informative. The Book is well structured and Linda explains the complexities of combining glaze ingredients with considerable insight. Stoneware, porcelain, earthenware, raku and crystalline glazes are all covered and the book is well illustrated with photographs. Example glaze recipes from a wide range of sources are included and I came away from the book with a renewed desire to make experimental glaze tests of my own. Although focused on electric kiln firing the book also has examples of live flame ceramics and glaze recipes for comparison. A comprehensive and well researched guide for anyone who wants to start making their own glazes and a worthy addition to the library of the studio potter.

Format:Paperback
Of all the books about glazes I've read recently this is the best. It explains what each of the chemicals do and how to achieve different colours and surface qualities. Using this in conjunction with 'The Potter's Palette' (Constant and Ogden) and 'The Potters Recipe Book' (Cooper) I know have the confidence to experiment in a way that I never have before.

Format:Paperback
A potter's journey is an experimental one, especially when it comes to the quest for a good glaze.The author achieves a good balance here. The right blend of technical and practical information and advice, with an array of useful illustrations.A text which gives me the confidence to continue the quest with an increased understanding of the processes involved and a desire to push the boundaries still further.
