It offers information explaining the chemistry behind glaze construction in a clear and thorough way. It also contains a wealth of recipes, giving colouring variations, and illustrating each glaze with a coloured tile. Special techniques such as crystalline and lustre glazes at this temperature are also covered. Cone 6 is a low stoneware temperature offering the benefits of durable stoneware while saving the kiln (and the gas/electricity bills)!
