Ceramics - Mastering the Craft
This new edition of Zakin's basic pottery book has been  completely rewritten, with new color photographs replacing the  mostly black-and-white photos of the first edition. To quote Val  M. Cushing's foreword, "a very good book has become an even  better book." Zakin, a veteran potter and teacher, discusses all  types of fired ceramics, including tiles and architectural  pieces. There are several good chapters on glazes and other  surface treatments. The numerous photos illustrate techniques  and finished work by other artists. An excellent book for  potters at all levels, this belongs in academic as well as  public library collections.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
