“No pot is left unturned, as the author features elegant examples of major glaze techniques.” — Booklist. “This well-illustrated handbook...covers glaze chemistry, application techniques, firing, and problem solving. Color photographs comparing fired samples are particularly good. Useful for studio potters and hobbyists.”— Library Journal.
Provided a scientific overview of why glazes do what they do and how different elements (copper, etc.) change the color of the glaze. Interesting, although probably more technical than I needed, since I'm not planning to mix my own glazes any time soon!
