An exciting update of the best-selling book, Out of the Earth and into the
Fire. This new second edition continues the study of ceramic glazes by examining
the connections between the raw materials of the earth and the surface of a ceramic
form. The focus lies not only on the final ceramic result, but also on the minerals
and rocks that create the ceramic materials. Understanding these connections offers
you an expanded range of opportunities for new and exciting results.
Thorough updates to the text include: new information on chemicals, formulas,
dates, and manufacturers; revised and expanded appendix; and 50 new color photos—beautifully
illustrating the concepts and tests discussed throughout the book.
Out of the Earth Into the Fire, 2nd edition, is a must-have reference for potters—regardless of experience—interested in developing a true mastery of their materials. |
