| 9109 -SODA GLAZING |
|
|
The technique of soda glazing in ceramics is becoming more popular with potters, because, like salt glazing, it produces an attractive 'orange-peel' texture to the object to be glazed, yet offers a more subtle range of colours while being more environmentally friendly.;The author of this book discusses the history and techniques of soda glazing, giving plans of kilns and detailed notes on how to produce this attractive effect. She compares its similarities to and differences from salt glazing.;As air pollution causes increasing concern, and as governments legislate accordingly, soda glazing is likely to be used as a more welcome alternative to salt glazing.;The work of an international group of ceramic artists is used to illustrate the text.

1st edition out of print
2nd edition due for publication January 2005 (Subject to change)
|
|
Paper clay is easy to use, as it is much stronger and will take much more abuse than normal clay. It is extremely strong in the unfired state which means changes and repairs can be made at almost every stage of the making process.
Paper clay is still a relatively new material in the ceramic world and exciting further developments are still being made. In this new edition there is new artwork in colour, and the expanded text brings the reader up to date on the latest information. A new chapter explores the possibilities of large-scale work.

'This is an excellent book from an excellent series and at its modest cost deserves a place on potters and collectors book shelves alike. The insights and comments from Richard and the contributions from some of the other top stoneware ceramicists of today are fascinating and may cause many to pause, reflect and (like me) add a little to their own store of knowledge.' www.studiopottery.co.uk
High firing can achieve qualities and finishes that appeal to many potters. However, firing clay at temperatures of about 1300×c imposes demands on the clay, glazes and kilns that do not occur at lower temperatures. This book discusses the various considerations that need to be taken into account when working at these temperatures.

This is a handbook on how to introduce colour into clay, and various methods of working with coloured clay. It briefly covers natural colour found in clays and how to use this to best advantage. It thoroughly looks at colouring your own clay through adding stains and oxides, and the various methods of preparing clay and slips, as well as how to blend properly and repeat results consistently. It looks at a range of making techniques using coloured clays (with specific ceramic artists as examples), including coiling and pinching with colours, marbling and agate, using moulds to create neriage or millefiori, textural effects, inlaying, sprigging and slipcasting. Each technique shows how various artists put it to use, with step by step sequences where needed, and displays finished pieces for further inspiration.
