Product Description
Product Description
Conceived as a workshop in print, this book guides the reader through some of the conceptual, material and technical concerns in producing new Maiolica. This is a tin-glazed earthenware which has a long tradition and for many, the term still conjures up the image of historical delftware and European faience.

Spectacular!
16 May 2000
Format:Hardcover
I recently purchased four or five books on ceramics. This was by far my favorite. The beautiful work is inspiring and well presented with clear how to information. He even shows what brushes he uses for each and every stroke.

Wonderful features on many prominent potters!
5 Jan 2000
Format:Hardcover
I found that the artwork is beautifully featured in this book and many of today's finest potters' work can be viewed. In particular, I truly enjoyed Ostermann's feature on up and coming Ontario potter-Richard Mund. His beautifully decorated work makes this book a new favorite for reference, inspiration and knowledge.

Practical reference book
22 Jun 2004
Format:Hardcover
While I prefer traditional Italian maiolica to contemporary, this book is still excellent. It is filled with glaze recipes and practical technical information. This book is worth it's purchase price just for it's 8 page Troubleshooting chapter.
