This is a new, revised, and updated edition of Brian Sutherland's classic book on making glazes from natural sources, such as trees, plants, and stones.
Ash Glazes has been designed as an introduction and practical handbook to this glazing technique, covering the history of ash glazes and the practicalities of collecting and testing wood ashes and transforming them into glazes. It will provide inspiration for working potters and delight all those interested in contemporary ceramics.
This book explains how to collect materials to make your own glazes. It gives practical instructions about sourcing and harvesting material from your local environment, mixing a glaze, testing samples, applying the glaze, and firing the work.
Ash Glazes is the definitive reference for potters who want to achieve success with these highly variable glazes. Author Robert Tichane takes the guesswork out of ash glazes, sharing the results of his exhaustive research and experimentation.
Packed with information and glaze recipes, this book will enable you to reference hundreds of ceramic surfaces. Each glaze recipe is reproduced pictorially so you can see the colour and surface responses it has to offer, and features a brief description, its firing range, and the uses to which it can be put.
A comprehensive guide to developing unique glaze effects from natural and sustainable sources. Making your own glazes is a fascinating and rewarding process, even more so when making them from collected ingredients. With little equipment and following a few basic principles, it is possible to harvest glaze ingredients from your local environment, such as clay, subsoil, plants and seashells, to achieve beautiful results in the kiln. Whether you wish to make an entire glaze using collected materials, or just want to use them as additions to existing base recipes, Miranda Forrest teaches you how to source and prepare natural ingredients, from degraded rocks to seaweed, and gives you step-by-step instructions for mixing a glaze, testing samples and finally applying glazes and firing your work. Contributions from contemporary ceramicists who use natural glaze ingredients give you a detailed insight into their working methods and intriguing results. Encouraging experimentation and a creative approach, Natural Glazes is a vital resource for anyone wishing to work in a more natural and sustainable way to develop unique glaze effects.
