John Britt's book on high fire glazes is the most comprehensive glaze book I have ever read. If you are firing at cone 10 don't waste your time googling glaze recipes on the internet - Get this book! Read it! It offers deep understanding and easy to read explanations of why glazes look the way they do. Great photos of pots and test tiles. Britt opens doors- give ideas on how to experiment with the knowledge and what to try to make an original glaze of your own, plus dozens of recipes mostly organized by color. ..including crystalline and shino.
Incredible resource w/great pics -
Best book on glazes period. You need this as a reference so you have a clue what is what in the glaze world. Outstanding pictures let you know if you really want to pursue a glaze or not.
The only book you need for High Fire Glazing! -
This is by far the best book on ceramics I have read. Britt organizes the information in probably the most logical way possible. This is not only a guide to educate you on creating his glazes, it is a reference that you can keep handy to quickly and easily create glazes of your own and formulate and reformulate to minimize any problem. If you are interested in mixing your own glazes...GET THIS BOOK. The information is vast and you will most likely never be able to use it all.
Great selections of branded hammocks at
- surely the ultimate teak furniture store!
Extremely informative -
I have tried several of the glazes from the book to great effect. I have also begun experimenting with some recipes with knowledge gleaned from the book and have been impressed with the results. While glazing is an art in itself, this book allows you to monitor the firing etc. in such a way as to best replicate the results shown in the book. As a beginner to the art, this book has been invaluable in learning the roles of the glaze constituents as well as firing techniques etc. The glaze recipes have also been very useful. I would definitely recommend this book.
