Description:

About this item:

Get inspired and get glazing! Amazing Glaze Recipes and Combinations provides a captivating collection of sure-fire glaze recipes and electrifying combinations for low-fire, mid-range, and high-fire potters. Hundreds of photos and technically-edited recipes ensure you'll get the best possible results.

Whether you're searching for excitement at cone 6 or looking for the perfect high-fire shino recipe, you've come to the right place. Join Gabriel Kline, author of Amazing Glaze and founder of Odyssey Clayworks, for page after color-filled page of glazes. Start by learning the keys to success when applying glazes, then choose the temperature range you want to explore first. Gabriel's collection of well-tested recipes draw on his decades of experience as an instructor and leader of a communal arts studio—including current and past student favorites as well as a few timeless gems.

Of course he doesn't stop there! In addition to plentiful tiles showing off two-glaze combinations, Gabriel shares multi-glaze combinations developed through years of trial and error. From waterfall blues to eye-popping bursts of red, there's a rainbow of options. Just as in Amazing Glaze, the recipes have all been technically edited and each one has a photo. By controlling specific gravity and application, the goal is always getting the perfect coat of glaze recipe after recipe.

Special topics like majolica and raku firing provide welcome detours, and a variety of artist features serve as launching points for new explorations. Stunning galleries from today's top artists provide even more glazing ideas.

S. · 11 September 2024

The book was too simplistic and didn't provide sufficient information on the subject

1.0 out of 5 stars Just a rehash of a previous book.

G.M.N. · 5 September 2021

I you do not have the previous book this would be a good buy, but if you do it is just the same book different format. maybe a couple of new glazes but nothing worth buying it again for,

Excellent book

Great book for those learning to make their own glazes.

If you really want to learn about making glazes, and build your knowledge, this is it.

T.A. · 1 January 2024

Bought this book with the idea that it would have some fairly good knowledge about the materials that go into making glazes, not only does it have that, but it has photos of how they turn out, formulas, everything you could possibly need to not only make your own glazes, but create new glazes with your own hand picked ingredients. There is a profound amount of work that went into making this book, and honestly this art form is how civilization will be rebuilt one day should it fall. This knowledge should never be lost and books like these keep that knowledge alive.

Todo bien
