Description
Lustre: A Comprehensive Guide to Creating Your Own Lustres and Finishing Techniques. This handbook offers a detailed guide to creating your own lustres and techniques for applying and firing them. Lustres are thin layers of metal deposited onto the surface of pottery during firing, producing a lustrous finish that can be coloured in various hues or have a colourless sheen. With this book, you'll learn how to simplify the process of creating different types of lustre using natural materials, resulting in an infinite variety of effects. The book includes recipes for making your own lustres and techniques for applying and firing, backed by extensive testing from the author. One advantage of making your own lustre is that it allows you to avoid commercial products containing carcinogenic thinners, offering a safer and more versatile alternative.
