Average Customer Ratings:
Crystalline glazes have a magical quality that appeals to many ceramicists. Unfortunately, producing these glazes can be technically difficult.
Diane Creber tackles the problems involved in using this challenging medium. She describes the clays and kilns most suitable, explains how to glaze, provides glaze recipes, and discusses how to fire in both oxidation and reduction conditions. She also briefly sketches the history of crystalline glazes.
A useful guide to this exciting subject, Crystalline Glazes is perfect for both the student and the practiced potter experimenting with this technique. The second edition includes a new chapter, profiling the work of 14 potters from around the globe. These artists discuss their approaches, techniques, and recipes for achieving successful crystalline glazes.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Very Accurate... -
Well, for me, this book has shared a lot of useful information and tips on how to come up with ones own crystalline base glaze. Then, it explains how to achieve different crystal/background colors by experimenting with different oxides, along with nice, consistent firing schedules that I have tried and have gotten great results from. One must understand that a glaze recipe might be good in one area, but does not always work out in another area. So far, my results are pretty on point with what is shown in the book, and I found that really astounding. I give this book 5/5, and having it is a must whether your a rookie or experienced with crystalline glazes.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
better than last, but still lacking -
I thought the organization of this book is still messed up. Some useful things, but skimpy on real how-to info and not my first recommendation.
good information if you're firing cone 10 -
Almost all of the glaze recipes and firing schedules designed for very high-fire kilns (cone 10 and above). More information on achieving the intended effects at stoneware temperatures (cone 5-7) would have been more useful to me.
Wow! Material is hard to hard on Crystalline Glazes... -
this is the most comprehensive book I've found. It has firing techniques, lots of glaze information and the technical information you need without it being overwhelming.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Diane Creber "Crystalline Glazes" -
This is a well written book dealing with crystalline glazes. If you have tried to find material on crystalline glazes you will realize how scarce it is. I have tried four of her glaze formulas and followed her instruction on firing.
Results: Two terrific glazes, one very nice glaze, and one which remained underdeveloped.
