CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
tons of glaze recipes -
this book is awesome if you know how to formulate your own glazes, or if you know how to mix your own glazes. anyone who has taken ceramics in college for more than just the intro class should be able to handle this book. you don't have to search all over the internet now to find a certain color glaze that goes to cone 04. there is a really good selection of glazes for low, mid, and high fire glazes.

, simply quality bar stools
I didn't like this book -
If tried about 6 of these glazes. None are really very impressive, some are boring or have problems, which are not detailed in remarks. Also, tiny little photos don't give an idea of how it will look, and there are not even photos (thumbnails?) of all the glazes in the book. They aren't on the same page as the recipe, so you have to hunt for them. Some of the photos in the book have no recipe listed!! Kinda crappy book.
Not as simple as expected -
I read the reviews on Amazon and thought I'd found the perfect glaze book! However, it doesn't do well for beginning glaze makers. It's cumbersome in that it lists temperature ranges rather than cone numbers. Some of the glazes are pictured on the same page as the recipe but not all, so it's difficult to guess what the colors will look like. Overall, I didn't like the format. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it. I may even return the book.
excellent resource for potter -
execellent glaze reference book for serious pottery. well organized and printed on sturdy pages. this book was recommended to me by a ceramics professor/professional potter
Great selections of branded hammocks at
