Hardcover 2004 | ISBN 0-8122-3810-9 | | Frank Hamer, Janet Hamer | | Now available in its fifth edition, the
Potter's Dictionary presents an authoritative survey of all aspects
of making ceramics for craft potters and ceramic artists. With
its sound, practical explanations of ceramic processes, this
indispensable reference book has gained a reputation as "the
potter's bible." Professional potters, beginners,
students and collectors will find comprehensive information clearly
and logically presented. Frank and Janet Hamer explain the
sources and character of materials, the behavior of clays and glaze
minerals during forming and firing processes, forming methods, and
glaze construction. This newly revised edition has been
updated to include auto-reduction, crystalline glazes, insulation,
stains, and specialized firing and fuming techniques. (The 4th
edition added new articles on soda
firing, paper clay, fuming, printing, computerized glaze
calculations, crystalline glazes, as well as inlay, lamination,
neriage, the "T" material, kiln construction and control,
and safety precautions.) Pottery Making Illustrated
wrote: "This book is an alphabetical listing of almost every
material, form, term, and process used in or relating to pottery
making. Well illustrated in black and white, with a few
gorgeous color plates, some of the definitions are highly technical...
other entries are likely to be of great interest to the
student." |
