The Potter's Dictionary of Materials and Techniques

A reference book for all craft potters which includes up-to-date information on the source and character of materials, the behaviour of clays and glaze materials during forming and firing processes, together with full notes on terminology and historical developments in ceramics.

New topics include raku, salt glaze, green issues and lamination. Recent legislation regarding safe work-shop practice and the handling of toxic materials has resulted in two new articles on safety and health hazards.
