More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The technique of soda glazing in ceramics is becoming more popular with potters, because, like salt glazing, it produces an attractive orange-peel" texture to the object to be glazed, yet offers a more subtle range of colours while being more environmentally friendly. The author of this book discusses the history and techniques of soda glazing, giving plans of kilns and detailed notes on how to produce this attractive effect. She compares its similarities to and differences from salt glazing. As air pollution causes increasing concern, and as governments legislate accordingly, soda glazing is likely to be used as a more welcome alternative to salt glazing. The work of an international group of ceramic artists is used to illustrate the text."

First Sentence
Nobody knows for sure how, why or exactly when salt glazing started, and as soda glazing derives from salt glazing, its history is equally vague. Read the first page

Fantastic book on Vapor Glazing
30 Nov 2007
Format:Paperback
Soda Glazing by Ruthanne Tudball is a must-have if you are a potter or clay artist considering the move to vapor glazing, or would like more information on the process, the kilns and the clays.
*Descriptive text about the soda glazing process
*Clear and concise kiln diagrams
*Profiles of potters' firing methods
While this book assumes that you, as one who works with clay, have a rudimentary knowledge of the making and firing process, it does offer a range of basic to advanced information.
After being entranced by an article about Ruthanne in Ceramics Monthly, I bought the book and literally read it cover to cover, several times. I was going through an "I hate to glaze" phase, and thought soda glazing was my answer.
