200+ Surefire Finishes for Low-Fire, Mid-Range, and High-Fire Pottery
1 of 1 copy available
Whether you're searching for excitement at cone 6 or looking for the perfect high-fire shino recipe, you've come to the right place. Join Gabriel Kline, author of Amazing Glaze and founder of Odyssey Clayworks, for page after color-filled page of glazes. Start by learning the keys to success when applying glazes, then choose the temperature range you want to explore first. Gabriel's collection of well-tested recipes draw on his decades of experience as an instructor and leader of a communal arts studio—including current and past student favorites as well as a few timeless gems.
Of course he doesn't stop there! In addition to plentiful tiles showing off two-glaze combinations, Gabriel shares multi-glaze combinations developed through years of trial and error. From waterfall blues to eye-popping bursts of red, there's a rainbow of options. Just as in Amazing Glaze, the recipes have all been technically edited and each one has a photo. By controlling specific gravity and application, the goal is always getting the perfect coat of glaze recipe after recipe.
Special topics like majolica and raku firing provide welcome detours, and a variety of artist features serve as launching points for new explorations. Stunning galleries from today's top artists provide even more glazing ideas.

Kline's second book, following Amazing Glaze: Techniques, Recipes, Finishing, and Firing. He is a professional potter and teacher for over 20 years, and owns Odyssey ClayWorks Studio in Asheville, NC. This updated work discusses basic and advanced principles of pottery glazing, use of tools and equipment, and the physical and chemical properties of various glazes, plus techniques for successful firing results. Numerous photos show combinations of glazes fired under assorted conditions and techniques. There is in-depth coverage of mid-range, high-fire, and low-fire glazes, along with recipes and application methods. Glazing can be regarded as the least favorite step in the process of pottery making, Kline says, but he aims to take the mystery and guesswork out of this important stage. The book features a number of ceramists and their work. VERDICT This is a worthy resource for artisans wishing to expand their knowledge of pottery glazes. Explanations are clear, and the photographs of finished pieces might inspire readers to advance their skills. Experienced ceramists especially will find useful information in this comprehensive work, to take their pottery to a higher level of artistry.--Deborah A. Broocker, Georgia Perimeter Coll.
