Must have for Ceramic glaze makers

Great book with great recipes, but I need to find some suppliers for the chemicals required to make these.

Great Book!

The media could not be loaded. I recently started doing pottery again and I have been working with Cone 6 oxidation and Cone 7 reduction glazes. I pre-ordered this book a couple months ago and it finally arrived and I love it!The wealth of information in this book is truly impressive! It is a great book for anyone working with mid-range clay and glazes. I've included a short video of leafing through the book so you can get a general sense of the books format (text and images).The basic chapters include:Glaze: An IntroductionWhy Fire to Cone 6?Materials, Oxides, Colorants, and Melt TestsMixing GlazesApplicationKilns and FiringSafetyOverview of Mid-Range Glazes: Clear and White Glazes, Iron Glazes, Shino Glazes, Red Glazes, Green Glazes, Blue Glazes, Purple Glazes, Matte Glazes, Black Glazes, Yellow Glazes, Crystalline Glazes, Ash Glazes, Salt, Soda, and Wood-Fired Glazes.Making the Most of Mid-Range GlazesCone ChartsFeldspar UMF ChartsFrit UMG ChartKiln Wash ChartThe book includes a wide variety of glazes. It is organized well with dozens of charts that group similar glazes together so you can easily see not only the appearance of the glazes but also the chemicals included in the glaze.I believe this book is best summed up by John Britt's own words from page 7 of the book. "This book is designed to help the beginner through advanced student overcome the confusion (and perhaps fear) and to help make sense of mid-range glazes. Although it also contains hundreds of recipes, it will go beyond them to explain the principles behind the glazes. By comparing and contrasting recipes within a type and learning the way glazes work, you'll see how potters create variations within a type. This gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to create an infinite number of your own recipes."A great book!

Great book, bad delivery

To be clear, this is a great book from a great author full of great content and knowledge that I would absolutely recommend. However, somewhere in the delivery process, it was pretty heavily damaged. This book arrived in a box with a few others, and all of the other books are fine; there was nothing in the box with it that would have caused this damage, so I think it happened before my package was packed. Not sure when along the line from production to delivery the damage happened, so I don’t know if it’s the book supplier’s fault or Amazon’s, but this damage is far more severe than I’d ever expect a company to be willing to sell for full hardcover price. The back hardcover is bent almost to the point of breaking; the angle is really strange, almost like something heavy crushed it while the book was open. The outer sleeve is also damaged in a few places. I don’t really mind the damage; it’s a book, not a decoration. But this would be something id probably pay $5-10 for, based on the wear and tear. Again, the book is great for anyone interested in the subject, but maybe try to buy somewhere in person.
