Hello Clayart Friends,
I am working on a research and writing project concerning the pottery =
of the early 20th century American Arts and Crafts pottery. I am =
specifically trying to find out technical matters dealing with firing, =
glazes, and clays of the period. I have no idea of the firing ranges =
nor how the kilns of the period were fired. I do not even know when =
cones were introduced in this country.
My references on the Arts and Crafts pottery describe the pottery =
companies and show pictures of their wares. My ceramics references do =
not (to my knowledge) deal with the technology of the Arts and Crafts =
period (roughly 1895-1920).=20
Collectors of Arts and Crafts pottery are often quite innocent of =
pottery methods and even terminology.
Can you help me with any references? Or can we chat?
