A very fascinating and informative book for any pottery enthusiast. Having come across the author at various pottery festivals and admired her work I'm glad I eventually decided to sport out on the book. It gives details, illustrations and procedures of not only her work but numerous slipware pieces by many potters over the centuries.

As a novice potter,desperate to find a good glaze recipe, I'm surrounded by books and a wealth of advice.I have endured the misery of one failed experiment after another.This book came as a lifeline.In it the author comments on her 3 year search for a well-fitting glaze. She was right.The book inspires you to 'go for it' and is written in a down to earth, straightforward fashion.Am so grateful to Mary for sharing her wisdom through this book and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone out there on the same intriguing journey.
