Version
1.00
This book is for collectors, practitioners, teachers
and students in need of a technical treatment of clays
and glazes in terms of their raw materials - earths,
rocks, minerals, oxides, and elements - which is
thorough and yet very easy to use. Materials are
listed by alphabetized titling; data are thoroughly
cross-referenced; special attentions are drawn to
varieties of usage in terminologies and emphases
throughout are on natural versus man-made origins by
way of understanding nomenclatures. Appendixes address
the very technical aspects of manufacturing clays and
glazes. Easy navigation, search function, print
articles, lexicon,web browser, periodic table and
personal notes editor. A utilitarian attempt to
present data on those materials and techniques most
commonly used and most commonly known in a most
orderly fashion.
