Minor correction to a recent post: Electric Kiln Ceramics was written by
Richard Zakin, not Emmanuel Cooper. It is in print and available . Electric
Kiln Pottery is the book written by Cooper. Alas, it is out of print.

A few days ago the book "A Potters Companion" by Ron Larsen was mentioned
with a very positive comment. It is a great compilation of stories, poems,
and other writings on clay. However, it is out of print and unavailable from
the publisher. If you are lucky enough to see this book on the shelf in a
bookstore or on line and IN STOCK, buy it and enjoy it. Do not order the book
from anyone that tells you that it is not in stock but they can get it for
you.

Happy reading!

Marcella;

It's called "GLAZES CONE 6 1240 C". Quite a lovely book with easy to
understand information and many color pictures (and recipes) of very
beautiful glazes. I ordered mine from his partner, Steve
stevemills@mudslinger.demon.co.uk .

Thanks so much. When I was a beginning student in ceramics I wrote a research
paper for Art History on the Islamic Influences of Spanish Pottery. The reson
resin (sp) lusters recipe was in a book from the 1700's in the University of Penn
rare book room. It discussed boiling pine tar I believe to make a tacky base for
the luster. I believe gold, copper and silver were melted into this. After forty +
years I wish I had that paper.
Best wishes,
marcia

Marcia,

If you find the paper, I'd love to see it. I've a long-time goal of doing a book on
Art History, the Ceramic Record (excluding stuff from Dead White Christian Guys). I'm
on the process side of the process/product continuum, and trying to figure out exactly
who did what when is the most challenging and interesting part of the research. Most
references point out that the Japanese did EVERYTHING in ceramics first, never mind
the Koreans and Chinese and Egyptians, much like the well-known fact that my Irish
ancestors invented everything in Western Culture except for the wheelbarrow (invented
by the English to help the Irish learn to walk upright).

I've never run into this. There are only a few things done first in
Japan (first historic evidence of vessels and maybe stuff like raku) but most
other processes came from China, sometimes through Korea. And the Jomon
pottery was done by the ancestors of the Ainu & not the ancestors of the Modern
Japanese, who came to the Japanese islands much later. The Jomon folks
probably came from Siberia during the iceage, where there were land bridges
connecting the islands to the continent.

What is so interesting about the Jomon vessels is that they were made by
hunter/gatherers. Usually, vessels are related to agriculture and the
beginning of urban life, but in the case of Jomon, it was different. I have
an article on a CD here somewhere, about the early history of the Japanese
islands that explains this a little bit. If I can find it, I'll put it up.

Yes Roger you are right the English invented the barrow but the Irish put

Functional Pottery by Robin Hopper, Chilton 1986, ISBN 0-8019-7451-8

Lots of pictures, some in color, of vessels ancient to modern. Some
actual instruction but mostly forms for different uses, best
placement of handles, various lid forms, proportion, aesthetics,
history, etc etc. Lots of ideas, very inspirational.

Available in hardcover online from addall.com, abebooks.com, amazon
and probably others for about half the original price of around $45,
more in Canada.

This would make a nice holiday gift.

Dear Clayart:


I just found this book and have ordered a copy.
I thought you might be interested.


Shop Class is Soul Craft


Google the title plus review to see what it is about.
I think it has relevance to all of us who work with our hands
(and minds).

For the younger potters (less than 30 years old) you may not know the =3D
book , "The world of Japanese Ceramics" by Herbert Sanders. It is a =3D
great book for a potters collection.. I would recommend this book to =3D
any potter, regardless of age. My copy is over 45 years old and I just =3D
picked it up again as it is something I look at when showing it to my =3D
students. The book is available on Amazon and a good used one is in the =
