Porcelain is an intriguing material: it appears very fragile, yet it is stronger
than all the other clays. In The Complete Potter: Porcelain, Caroline
Whyman offers a practical introduction to every aspect of handling and firing
this unique clay. The author begins with a brief history of porcelain, from its
beginnings in China to its place in the pottery industry today. She discusses
in detail its properties and the ways in which it can be prepared, stored, and
reclaimed. Each chapter covers particular aspects, from basic handling and throwing
procedures to the various methods of hand building and modeling. Molds and decoration
are also discussed, complete with advice on the suitability and timing of different
techniques. Other topics covered include kiln packing and firing, and the coloring,
mixing, and application of glazes, slips, lusters, and enamels. Illustrated throughout
with finished work and step-by step photographs, this book will guide the potter
through all the processes involved in creating successful porcelain pottery. |
