This book covers everything you need to know to understand and create
dry glazes. There is not much information available on dry glazes and
this focuses on
them entirely. Dry glazes were and are used by some potters (Lucie
Rie and Hans Coper are well-known examples) and often by ceramicists
creating sculpture, where
a shiny glaze is inappropriate. This book covers slips and engobes,
oxides and stains, matt glazes and low alumina surfaces, as well as
textured and
pitted glazes. It explains thoroughly what makes up a dry glaze
and how to create them. It is illustrated with work by artists using
these glazes, as well many test tiles of examples of dry glazes with
their corresponding recipes, making it a valuable resource for
ceramicists working in this area.
