It's easy to adquire thecnical information on ceramics today.

The Potter's Palette is a guide for potters who want to improve knowledge about glazes.It's not only a book of recipes because it contains instructions about the oxides and how to choose the fluxes and oppacifiers for your glaze. Information about firing are concise. The difference of others books about this subject is the colourful edition so necessary to understand the use of oxides and stains to give colours.

The Potter's Palette Rocks!

Beautiful, clear test-tile images are arranged by colorant, firing temperature and atmosphere. Gives a very good sense of the characteristics and uses of the materials found in a typical glaze lab. The Potter's Palette won't solve your glaze problems (there are plenty of books that address crawling, pinholing, etc) but it's uniquely instructive and very inspirational. For the intermediate to advanced potter.

A picture book of glazes!

A great book to have if you want to embark on the journey of making your own glazes. This book is so useful because there are pictures of test tiles of the glazes at alkaline, lead, oxidation, and reduction firings. Included in the pictures are tests of increasing strengths of oxides added to the base glaze recipes. Nine oxides, four glaze stains, and three opacifiers produce a broad range of color. Includes some raku examples as well.
