Product Description

Book Description

With hundreds of recipes for some of the most popular and enduring high-fire glazes used today, this reference will prove a boon to ceramicists who want to master this complex aspect of the art. Author John Britt, who recently served as Clay Coordinator at the respected Penland School of Crafts, has personally tested many of the recipes himself, and carefully reviews every one. He offers a thorough examination of glaze materials, chemistry, and tools, and presents the basics of mixing, application, and firing procedures. There’s specific information on each type of glaze, including copper, iron, shino, salt/soda, crystalline, and more. An exhaustive index of subjects and a separate index of glaze recipes will help ceramicists find what they need, quickly and easily.

5.0 out of 5 stars A precise, practical and detailed book, 7 Sep 2005

By	"jplannoy2" - See all my reviews

While opening "The complete guide to high-fire glazes", one is amazed at the quality of the pictures. Photos of pieces from various artists show the quality of the glazes, of which recipes are given. These pictures and tiles pictures provide comparisons between glazes, fired in different conditions, or on various clays. This is very interesting information.
By focusing on a narrow range of firing temperatures, the author is thoroughly complete on this subject. He refers to a series of detailed firing curves regarding temperature rising and oxidation/reduction conditions. His style is short, precise and concentrated on the useful information.
The book describes the general principles of mixing, applying and firing glazes. About each type of glazes, specific information is given, as well as tested recipes. Recipes are useful to the beginner. He will be able to try some glazes directly with a maximum of chances of success and he will begin to understand the mechanisms ruling glaze melting. The experienced ceramist will take profit from advice given in order to improve his glazes and create new ones.
John BRITT brings together principles and practical experience in a very useful manner.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Glaze Book For All Levels, 6 Jul 2005

By	M. Luk "Need something well made" (Brooklyn NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In 'The complete Guide to High-Fire Glazes' John Britt presented a complete communication system so that the readers can have a better success in reproducing high fire glazes.

The recipes are complemented with examples of work by contemporary potters. Detailed explanation is given for mixing, application and firing cycles for each and every glaze types. There is also a plotted graph to show it's position in relation to the alumina and silica limits. This is a meaningful visual aid if one is concerned with durability for making functional wares.

I am impressed with the inclusion of the detailed gas firing cycle charts; There are no mis-interpretations of relative terms like 'light' or 'heavy'. John Britt makes sure that the readers understand the intricacies of the firing cycle in relations to the recipes.

The detailed information is well laid out. and the language is not too technical. This is a useful reference book for glaze addicts of all levels.
