Product Description

The use of wax, paper, clay and other materials to prevent the effects of heat, fire, smoke, chemical reactions, colours and glazes from altering or contaminating the surfaces of work is very popular with ceramicists. However, learning to use these techniques can be a long and frustrating process, particularly when complicated by considerations of the state of the clay and which form of glazing is to be used. In this book, Peter Beard discusses the techniques of masking and resist and gives guidance as to how best to use various materials and firing method to achieve a wide range of finishes.

Customer Reviews

Clear and inspirational
Covers a large variety of teqniques with clear intructions on how to do the various techniques. Very inspirational, my only gripe is that it could use more colour photo's instead of the dull black and white that cover most of the book.
