CERAMICS by Dolors Ros - 




This conveniently sized and well illustrated book on "ceramics" does not initially state what kind of ceramics the writer is writing about. In the USA, we differentiate between earthenware [low-fire] and stoneware [high-fire] before reccomending materials or techniques and it wasn't until I flipped back to the section on firing that I discovered that the author was referring only to EARTHENWARE. Therefore, the book should be entitled, "LOW FIRE CERAMICS," not simply "CERAMICS." If it would have been titled correctly, I never would have bought it because my interest is in cone 5-6 stoneware. Many of the techniques translate to high fire work but none of the engobe recipes, firing tips or glaze information are applicable. This seems like quite a BIG oversight on the part of the writer and the publisher that I think they should be informed. Any clay artist working in earthenware will love this book and be able to get past the other small things, like silica being called quartz or Seger cones being used instead of Orton cones, so I do highly reccomend the book to them...a lot of good info for the money!
