This book is dedicated to helping potters identify quickly the nature, causes and remedies for the multitude of diffculties that can arise during production processes. However, the book is much more than this—its detailed explanations also provide an excellent account of the technology involved in ceramics production and firing processes. Comprehensive and easy to use, it has already proved itself to be an enormously helpful source of reference for craft potters, teachers and students of ceramics, and those working in the ceramic industry.

Harry Fraser has organised the book into four simple sections: faults arising in clay and biscuit ware; from slipcasting processes; in glazing and glazed ware; and problems appearing after decoration. This second edition include a new chapter on ceramic test methods and an expanded chapter on health and safety, including procedures on how to avoid problems.

This new edition has been fully redesigned with colour illustrations and the text has been revised, updated and expanded to reflect new developments. While many other books have small sections covering this material, this book is the only one entirely dedicated to the subject of identifying faults and offering solutions.
