CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
I've been waiting for this.... -
This book has very useful information for the studio potter, from formulating clays and glaze to troubleshooting problems. The author addresses common issues that I deal with daily in my job. The chapter on troubleshooting glaze has a wonderful reference chart for fixing your problem, and the kiln heat work chart is extremely helpful in teaching potters what chemical changes their clay is going through as it fires. If you're looking for a super reference handbook, this is it.

Reinforce Your Understanding with Practicality -
The other favorable reviews have it right. He is a knowledgeable person. Read it several times with intervals in between. Each photo is there to illustrate a specific concept. There are many variables in potting about which the average hobbyist can get a glimpse here. Once you are able to get a bit of clay to stand up, your next challenge is Glaze. Determine to know something about it in order to understand (sorta) what's going on. I also recommend Mastering Cone 6 Glazes and John Britt's High Fire Book. This is a great place to start.
Very informative -
Everything I hoped it would be. Made things easy to understand. Very happy with it.
