This book is a companion volume to Ian Gregory's previous book, Kiln Building.
In it, he offers radical new ideas and different approaches to the age old skill
of building kilns. The book is not designed as a how-to-do-it book per se although
it does provide basic guidelines for the beginner. Instead, it takes a fresh look
at the process of kiln building, suggesting materials and new styles of kilns,
many of which are art forms in their own right. The result is an instructional
as well as inspirational book which should appeal to old-hand builders as well
as those just starting out in kiln building.
Part of the Ceramics Handbook series: conceived as an introduction to various topics and techniques relating to the use of clay. Aimed at the student or the practiced ceramicist experimenting in a new area.
