Summary
"In this second edition of Ash Glazes, Phil Rogers covers the history of ash glazes and proceeds to discuss the practicalities of collecting and testing wood ashes and transforming them into glazes. In the final portion of the book, he looks at the work of some leading international potters whose work is typified by the array of finishes that they achieve through their use of wood ash glazes. Images of their work offer an impressive display of the colors and techniques possible through this glazing technique." "Ash Glazes has been designed as an introduction and practical handbook to the subject. It will provide inspiration for practicing potters and a source of delight for all those interested in contemporary ceramics."--BOOK JACKET.
