Ceramicists searching for new ways to fire their creations now have a wealth of options. Authors James Watkins and Paul Wandless, along with a group of distinguished artisans, demonstrate in detail how to build low-cost, low-tech, yet high-quality kilns. The plans range from an easy, affordable, and versatile Raku Kiln to a unique wood-fueled Downdraft Stovepipe Barrel one. These clever devices make it possible to produce rich surface effects from alternative reduction firing techniques. In addition to showing the basic procedures for using each kiln, easy-to-follow directions for many fast-fire methods unfold in color photographs: You'll see how to achieve terra sigillata surfaces with direct chemical application, and how to do traditional crackle-glaze raku and smoke finishes.

Decided that now I have 15 years of Ceramics under my belt, I should really learn all I can about RAKU. This is probably the most informative book researched so far. The title is off putting as it sounds technical and boring, but far from it. It is a joy and covers pretty much everything regarding decorative application as well as the technical stuff and how to do it in safety. Beautifully illustrated - all my questions answered. The text is simple and very easy to understand. The only fault I found is that I wish it had a translation index for UK readers, to transcribe various ingredients in recipes etc. It would have avoided many trips to the PC.
