Does anyone know of good reference books on majolica? I would
specifically like instructional material. I'm really excited by some of
the work I've seen but there doesn't seem to be any workshops on the
subject in the Victoria area so I have almost no information on the
techniques, materials used, firing temperatures, etc.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Carol,

For books on majolica and earthenware, I suggest:

Levy, Mike, The complete Potter: Decorated Earthenware, B.T. Batsford
Ltd, London, 1992

Carnegy, Daphne, Tin-glazed Earthenware, A & C Black, London, 1993

Good luck with your majolica!!!

In September, Half Price Books in Seattle had new, remaindered(?) copies
of the Carnegy book for $9.95 (lists for $34.95). They may still have
some left, which I imagine they could ship. Their phone is
206-547-7859.
