not for the advanced potter August 29, 2008

I thought this book would be more of an glaze application workshop with techniques & effects since there is so little out there on the subject. I was sadly disapointed.

I didn't find this book interesting, it doesn't help you the way others can help. I have 3 books of this colection and all of them are weak.

A waste of time and money March 4, 2006

If you are seriously looking for good information or ideas, look else where. We got three of the books in this series and found them all a waste of time and money. We can't even feel good about trying to re sell them.

this book is horrible December 15, 2003

Around my studio we had a copy of this book that no one would take and everyone laughed at. The work shown in the book is terrible- i mean really really bad art- dated and just ugly. The glazes are dated too- some even using lead (a poison that should only be used if you really know what you are doing). The only plus i can say for this book is that it has luster recipes -something i've never seen anywhere else(it's made of frit and bismouth subnitrate or something) all in all BUY A DIFFERENT BOOK! there are much better ones out there or start getting magazines (ceramics monthly and claytimes) that always have lots of glaze recipes and articles.

Interesting and technical, but not much help for beginners December 4, 2003
10 out of 12 found this review helpful

I purchased throwing techniques and decorating techniques from the same author and found both books to be wonderful. My skill level went far beyond what I could currently do in a matter of weeks using the techniques listed in the book. However, this book failed to impress me. The illustrations were nice, and it provides good detail for making and applying your own glazes, but unless you own your own set of kilns and have a workshop, this book is best to be borrowed from a friend or checked out from the library.
