Description

The Workshop Guide to Ceramics by Duncan Hooson and Anthony Quinn is a comprehensive reference for ceramicists. This book brings together a range of skills, techniques, and technical data in one volume, providing an essential resource for makers of all levels. The authors explore techniques thematically, allowing the maker to evolve ideas naturally, with each technique building upon the last. The guide covers forming techniques, including pinch, coil, slab, and wheel methods, as well as mould-making, slip casting, and extrusion. It also delves into slip decoration, embossing, glazing, glaze recipes, and applications. Additionally, the book includes a comprehensive guide to firing and kilns, as well as practical advice on setting up a studio, good workshop practices, tool usage, and recycling materials. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone working with ceramics, from beginner crafters to experienced practitioners seeking a one-stop reference on techniques and processes.
