Synopsis

Porcelain is an intriguing material: it looks very fragile, yet it is stronger than all the other clays; it can be translucent or opaque; robustly formed or very thin. This volume is a practical introduction to every aspect of handling and firing this clay to produce satisfying results. Part of the "Complete Potter" series - a series of books, each one investigating a particular pottery technique - this book is designed to teach and inspire both the amateur and professional potter. It includes a history of porcelain from its beginning in China to the pottery industry today, discusses its properties in detail, as well as how it is prepared, stored and reclaimed, the book also covers basic handling, inlaying, throwing, modelling, fluting, moulds and decoration, colouring and slips.
