trevorpots Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I liked the first edition of of Richard Zakins 'electric Kiln Ceramics' and I used it often for inspiration and information. I loaned it and it was lost. I recieved the current edition from the Ceramic Arts Bookstore and found it was just a slick coffee table book (a different Zakin?) Does anyone have a copy the early edition for sale at a reasonable price (posted to Australia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have a copy the early edition for sale at a reasonable price (posted to Australia) Yep, have it, but I wouldn't part with it. As you say there are things in the old, that are not there in the new. It is so hard to find a book that is not written for the collector or the novice. When I do, I hold on. sorry!

Ok thanks for the reply.do you know if Dennis Parks has any recent publications. Like you I now use a programmable electric (too easy?) but his ideas are still inspirational and relevant. I guess he is still making pots somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fire completely by cone, no sitter nothing in an L&L electric-although you would not know the brand it does have coil holders of ceramic in the brick-great kilns.

Marcia Selsor Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 The only thing I know of by Dennis Parks recently was his autobiography, Living in the Country , Growing weird. Dennis lives in Tuscarora, Nv. Pop. 8 or 9 with his grand daughter Aurora. Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
