David:
As someone who is predominately self-taught from books in this area, I would
suggest:
1) The Potter's Palette, by Christine Constant & Steve Ogden (ISBN#0-8019-8753-9),
$19.95 new, used copies on eBay for $5-$10; Really helps to make clear the way
colorants work together and react in different atmospheres.
2) Glazes for the Potter, by Emmanuel Cooper & Derek Royle (ISBN#0-684-16021-8),
(not sure of current price); The clearest book I've found for explaining how to mix
base recipes and why.
-or-
The Potter's Complete Book of Clay & Glazes, by James Chappell
(ISBN#0-8230-4203-0), running about $50 new, though old copies abound in the
$10-$20 range; I don't know anyone who doesn't have at least one glaze recipe
titled "Chappell's ....", and it rivals Cooper for being clear and simple, no super
Chemistry fuss.
and
3) require they subscribe to Clayart
I'm sure someone will recommend Robin Hopper's Ceramic Spectrum, but it can be
pretty overwhelming, especially if this is the first glaze chem course they're
getting.

Dear Dave;
i did a workshop with ian Currie three years ago, and after 40 years in
pottery(as of that time) I learned great new things about the materials I
thought I understood. His books are powerful tools towards understanding
our materials at any temperature. The most recent book, "Revealing Glazes"
is perhaps easier for the newly interested student, and I recommend it to
your group. can be obtained at his website(quantity discounts apply) and
takes about a week to arrive. Good Luck! Hank in Eugene
Copies of the book "Revealing Glazes - Using the Grid Method" and
also "Stoneware Glazes - A Systematic Approach" can be
purchased bycredit card via the author's website:
