For the scientifically challenged, I would recommend The
Ceramic Spectrum by Robin Hopper

Hi Gerry,
If you are looking for basic glaze chemistry instruction with minimum
technical chemistry you could try GlazeTeach which is an on-line interactive
educational package available at the Matrix website:
http://www.Matrix2000.co.nz
The programme begins assuming that the user knows nothing at all about the
technical aspects of glaze chemistry and progress in small steps with
intermittant breaks for simple multiple choice tests.
Best of all the programme is FREE on line.
Regards,
Lawrence Ewing

You might be thinking of "Ceramic Technology for Potters and Sculptors" =
by Yvonne Hutchinson Cuff (c1996). It has a great 17-page chapter on =
chemistry...just enough...and then goes on to use it!

Just because no one understands you doesn't mean you're an artist.
The century and new millenium start 01 January 2001. Then, *I* will =
party.

I just saw a copy of this Parmlee book for about $18 on Ebay - believe it or
not, Ebay is a great place to watch for those out-of-print, impossible to
find pottery books, if you don't mind dog-eared pages and notes in the
margins (if you do, the Potter's Bookshop(? I'm probably mis-naming it) has
many hard-to-find books).

Was that Parmlee's Book. Mine got stolen 20+ years ago and I didn't
replace it. Was Parmlee's book the Chemistry for Potters' It sounds right.

Just an FYI that I just got through going through about 5 of these type of
books from our library and it didn't help my chemistry challenged mind much!

Am I dreaming that somewhere I saw a book entitled "Chemistry for Potters"?
I would love to lay my hands on it, or something similar for those who are
"scientifically challenged"! And, if I may, some influences/inspirations in
my life and pottery - Animals, any and all, in particular dogs; "primitive"
pottery; Scottish mists, the English countryside and Welsh friends; coyotes
singing under my window at night; Mono Lake and the volcano craters; A full
Nevada moon over the Black Rock Desert; Pictographs and petroglyphs; a good
