Master the science of surface design and create stunning centrepieces with unique, dynamic glazes.
In Special Effect Glazes, ceramicist Linda Bloomfield provides a masterclass in formulating, adjusting, and firing dramatic surfaces. If you want to learn how to make ceramic glazes that push the boundaries of surface design, this essential guide empowers you to harness the chemistry of your materials and create spectacular artworks.
Packed with ceramic glaze recipes and expert technical insights, this book explores how to trigger and control complex reactions in the kiln. You will discover how to master:
· Crackle and drippy glazes: Formulate elegant, classic crazing and harness the dynamic fluidity of heavily melting surfaces.
· Lava, lichen and volcanic glazes: Create explosive, highly textured finishes that transform studio challenges into striking focal points.
· Ash and shino glazes: Achieve rich, atmospheric surfaces inspired by wood-firing traditions and organic aesthetics.
· Celadon and copper red glazes: Unlock the secrets behind deep, translucent hues, alongside metallic bronzes and crystal growths.
Bloomfield demystifies the process, showing you how raw materials, stains, and firing cycles interact. Lavishly illustrated with pieces from contemporary makers, Special Effect Glazes provides the practical fixes and chemical understanding you need to experiment with confidence and achieve the perfect finish.
