Developing Glazes Summary

Developing Glazes by Greg Daly

Developing your own glazes can be tricky, and success is dependent on many factors. In this book, ceramicist Greg Daly aims to demystify the process with practical advice and complete, step-by-step instructions for testing glazes and experimenting with ingredients. He covers all the essentials, from methods for planning, creating and testing recipes and systematically recording test results, to mixing glazes and finding the correct firing temperature. This hands-on technical guidance is supported with helpful how-to images, and variations on hundreds of recipes to get you started. For any potter beginning to experiment with fired colour, texture and decoration in their work, Developing Glazes is an essential reference, revealing workable, exciting methods for achieving the glaze results you want.

Developing Glazes Reviews

The book is a good, even exciting, read. Daly's intense character shines through every page. It is enjoyable reading, especially chapter one where the author explains all aspects and strings together all the possible things that can occur in a firing and why different kilns give different results. It's not easy to sting all these happenings together developmentally and hold the reader's interest. But he does. -- Frank Hamer * Shards - South Wales Potters Newsletter *
