'there is much here for the glaze enthusiast' Ceramic Review, January/February 2010 'This book covers everything you need to know to create a range of glazes' London Potters, February/March 2010
Mrs. Betty Peach said buy a different book. Very disappointing. I waited a long time before spending money to buy this book and the only thing I can say is that I should have waited longer. You are better off looking on the Internet for barium glazes of which there are only a few. Probably could just paint your pots with shoe polish and sand and be better off.. good addition E. Lees In general, I have been pleased with the Ceramics Handbooks series, and this book is no exception. It covers a wide range of dry glazes. Although I have not yet had a chance to try any of them, I am eager to do so.

Dry glazes, also known as matte glazes, provide ceramic artists with an alternative to conventional glossy and transparent finishes. Contemporary sculptors employ dry glazes to add texture and depth to the surface of their pieces. This compact yet complete guide contains more than 270 formulas and recipes for slips, sigillatas, vitreous englobes, oxides, and stains. It is a practical and inspirational resource for ceramics practitioners, instructors, and students who want to make or alter their own glazes.. Still, little information has been published on matte glaze techniques until now.In Dry Glazes, artist and educator Jeremy Jernegan covers ev
