When potters are ready to go beyond dipping, pouring and brushing the same palette of glazes onto their work, they'll find the alternatives to surface decoration offered here to be an excellent jumping-off point. In this collection, thirty of the most innovative and talented contemporary ceramic artists share the techniques and processes that make their work unique and expressive.
Surface Decoration: Finishing Techniques covers techniques at all stages of the ceramic process, including forming, leather-hard, bisque and even after the final glaze firing. Artists discuss their working styles and tools, some provide detailed step-by-step instructions, while others discuss their successes and trials in broader terms. You'll find information on glazes and glazing, recipes, embossing, sgraffito, brushwork, printing, patinas, roulettes, stamping, decals, stains, resists, slips, china painting, stencils, faux finishes, and more.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Useful but expensive -
Most of the articles and how to's in this book can be found on the ceramic daily website, which is a wonderful site. I think this is a somewhat useful book, but not for the price. I would recommend Robin Hopper's Making Marks.
- The home of teak outdoor furnitures
, simply quality bar stools
straight from the magazines -
This is an exciting book if you are NOT a subscriber to Pottery Making Illustrated or Ceramics Monthly. 'Surface Decoration' is compiled of a few really good articles from the aforementioned magazines. If I checked the contents page I would have seen this coming. I save all the magazines..now I have duplicates.
Good but not great -
I have several books in this series and in my opinion this one is the weakest. The range of techniques is somewhat limited as the is depth of information on how to utilize the ideas shown. I do like the layout of the book and the photographs are inspiring. This book is a nice addition to an existing collection of ceramic technique books but not a great choice if it will be your first book on surface treatment.
