This book covers slips & engobes oxides & stains matt glazes & low alumina surfaces as well as textured & pitted glazes. It explains thoroughly what makes up a dry glaze & how to create them. It is illustrated with work by artists using these glazes as well many test tiles of examples of dry glazes with their corresponding recipes making it a valuable resource for ceramicists working in this area.
