Dear Brian,
No better place to start than "Mastering Cone Six Glazes" By Ron Roy
and John Hesselberth which gives you simple reasons why you have to do
what is needed to be done to bypass the problems. Web contact via
http://www.masteringglazes.com
Then, to see the breadth of what can be achieved get Greg Daly's book
details of which I gave yesterday. It is a real "How to do'
experience.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis. Redhill, South Australia

Hi Brian,
You are gonna get a lot of help on this one from this list :)
I'm not really qualified but I'm chasing glaze theory a lot lately and
prepping to do a bunch of different tests and so on. Books that I have and
am reading on this are Harry Frazer's Glazes for the Craft Potter (only just
got it and love it), Robin Hopper's Ceramic Spectrum (in my view a great
book on the topic), Mark Burleson's The Ceramic Glaze Handbook. All of these
have technical bits in them but not as technical as it can get. They explain
about materials and the compositions and oxides and all that. Burleson's is
nice because it has a bunch of photos of the materials themselves. As
someone who has yet to get a lot of materials to look at its really good to
see them. These books have a bunch on mixing, testing, applying glazes and
so on.
If you are looking for something about glazes of a specific type eg. cone
6, raku etc. there are some around. Others on the list will no doubt help
out with these. If you're into mixing up dirt and stuff there are books on
that too. Let us know more about what you're into and that will help a
little.

Hello,
I am an hobby potter and am wanting to learn more about
formulating my own glazes. Does anyone know of any books or other
resources that I might use to teach myself the basics? Nothing to
technical..
