The essential studio companion for any potter with a broad range of
glaze recipes and clay bodies.
The Handbook of Glaze Recipes is an essential studio companion for any

temperatures, and numbered for ease of reference.
The book also introduces you to the basics of mixing, applying and
adjusting glazes, and correcting typical glaze faults and includes many
clay body recipes, including a variety of ones for porcelain, wood
firing and even Egyptian paste.
Compiled by studio potter and glaze expert Linda Bloomfield, and based
on meticulously recorded tests and research from a large assortment of
established ceramic artists, this book is a must-have resource if you
wish to experiment or expand your glazes and clay bodies.
