I read this book now, in my slow in English reading in between the other things I do in
my studio.
It is a good book but not sure it is the ultimate one.
When I found some^6 recipes some years ago in Lana Wilson's book, I understood
that I had to read before touching this glaze. I bought Crystalline Glazes by Diane
Creber. The book gave me the tools to start.
Fara Shimbo's E book on the other hand gives me a lot of confidence. The way Fara
writes it makes you feels she knows only a bit more than you. The third book as I have
said is under my reading now. I wish the writers would contribute more to this
respected list. I have a lot of questions I want to ask in this opened forum.
