Science for Potters, by Linda Bloomfield, covers those aspects of science that are useful to potters and that help to give a deeper understanding of ceramic materials and processes.
You’ll learn about:
- the basics of chemistry in clear and simple terms
- how the chemistry and structure of clay bodies affects their working properties
- what makes a stable glaze
- how materials interact in a glaze
- glaze faults and how to correct them
- substitutions for glaze materials that are no longer available
- the glaze unity molecular formula and why it’s so important
