ceramics monthly handbooks

Lily Krakowski on mon 2 sep 02


They are lovely and price worthy, and gimmick free, and as far as i know
they are still in print.

There is one on throwing, which I have never seen, one by F. Carlton Ball on
decorating, which I have seen and like a lot, Richard Behrens's Glaze
projects, without which i would not be, another by RB on Ceramic Glazemaking
which I have seen, but do not own, and two by Marc Bellaire on underglaze
and brush decoration.

I do not know the copyright date on any of these. So, again and once more,
they should be "combined" with recent books/info on studio safety. They are
excellent books, and cheap, and I recommend them a lot.
