Ceramics Handbook: Dry Glaze

Dry glazes are used by some potters (Lucie Rie and Hans Coper are well-known examples) and are often used by ceramicists creating sculpture, where a shiny glaze is inappropriate. This book covers slips and engobes, oxides and stains, matt glazes and low alumina surfaces, as well as textured and pitted glazes. It explains the materials used in dry glaze and how to create them. There are illustrations of work by artists using these glazes, as well as many test tiles showing examples of dry glazes with their corresponding recipes, making it a valuable resource for ceramicists working in this area.
