{"product_id":"9780812222623","title":"Natural glazes. Collecting and making","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLike clay, all vitreous materials come from the earth. Traditionally, stones, plants, and other natural materials were used to decorate ceramic surfaces. In an era of synthetic and mass-produced glazes, handmade glazes made from local ingredients allow artists to create unique pieces that reflect the surrounding landscapes. In Natural Glazes, Miranda Forrest guides readers through the process of experimentation and discovery to achieve incredible colors from organic materials. Whether glazes are mixed from scratch or local products are added to commercial glazes, this concise book teaches the basic steps. A variety of glazing materials are available everywhere, and Forrest shows artists how to identify and gather the right ingredients and prepare them for mixing. He explains how to work with vegetation and organic materials such as grass, wood, and shells, providing step-by-step instructions for mixing glazes and testing sample mixtures for optimal results. Natural Glazes covers application and firing techniques such as raku and offers information on health and environmental issues. Natural Glazes includes full-color photographs of completed works, charts and tables showing firing times and other data, and insightful essays from other ceramic artists specializing in glaze work. Using found materials in glazes is a creative way to add a local touch to your ceramics. With Natural Glazes, inspiration can be as close as your own backyard.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eNatural Glazes\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e Collecting and Making (New Ceramics)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e author: Miranda Forrest;\u003cbr\u003e\n English;\u003cbr\u003e\n binding: softcover;\u003cbr\u003e\n size: 188 x 246 mm;\u003cbr\u003e\n number of pages: 112;\u003cbr\u003e\n 2013 University of Pennsylvania Press;\u003cbr\u003e\n ISBN 9780812222623;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eProduct available upon request.
