| 9556 - CERAMICS & PRINT |
|
|
|
A decade ago, to find print in a piece of studio ceramics was a relatively rare occurrence, but now, printing has become recognised as 'an integral part of current studio practice'. Similarly in printmaking studios, the advent of paperclay and a continuing interest in multimedia prints has opened up the possibilities that ceramic materials offer. Ceramics and Print has been attributed with being a significant catalyst in this process.
This second edition takes account of the dramatic changes that have taken place in the area in recent years. Previously documented processes such as monoprinting, intaglio, relief, screen and litho printing are elaborated and there are many new photographs and details of working processes. New adaptations and innovations are included, with extended references on the role of computers, laserprinters and photocopiers

| 9557 - RESIST & MASKING TECHNIQUES |
|
|
The use of wax, paper, clay and other materials to prevent the effects of heat, fire, smoke, chemical reactions, colours and glazes from altering or contaminating the surfaces of work is very popular with ceramicists. However, learning to use these techniques can be a long and frustrating process, particularly when complicated by considerations of the state of the clay and which form of glazing is to be used. In this book, Peter Beard discusses the techniques of masking and resist and gives guidance as to how best to use various materials and firing methods to achieve a wide range of finishes.

Once a ceramic piece is finished it can be embellished or added to with a wooden or metal handle, glass stopper, or plastic or resin knob. Extra pieces can be attached such as feathers, recycled materials or other bits of ceramic. Ceramics and Mixed Media examines the best methods of combining and fitting these materials together — including some inside the kiln. The informative text is supported by many helpful illustrations of contemporary work.
The Ceramics Handbooks give introductions to various topics and techniques relating to the use of clay. The books are aimed at the student or the practised potter who is experimenting in a new area. More than 20 titles are available in the series
