MichaelS Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Looking for a good "idiot guide" for glaze.........Dont want a list of glazes, well, I do but I want to understand what is happening and what does what.....I want it to be a ref I can just grab and find info when I am in the creative groove. There is a lot of info on the web ,,,so if you can point me at a good site that explains things, that would be useful as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucille Oka Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 The Ceramic Glaze Handbook; Materials, Techniques, Formulas by Mark Burleson It is very helpful, with great color pictures that show you what happens to the materials in the fire.

Marcia Selsor Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Two books which have good explanations of glaze chemistry and focus on ^6 electric are: Mastering Cone 6 glazes by John Hesselberth (also of Frog Pond Pottery and Glaze master) and Ron Roy I also like Michael Bailey's Cone Six Glazes and he also gives good chemical reasoning for what goes on in a glaze. For High Temperature I really enjoy John Britt's High Fire Stoneware Glazes. The websites mentioned in the previous posts are also good.

Marcia Dear All, I agree with the Ron Roy book but also there is one that Robin Hopper did I think (and I have it) called the Glaze Spectrum. It is a useful book for all aspects of glazing.
