Clear prose and excellent presentation make this book a page-turner; I repeatedly found myself wondering what exquisite beauty and careful explanation lay ahead. * Bill Griffith, educator, administrator, and artist, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts * Lindsay, a master of deep, rich surfaces, has written a personal, professional, and all-around practical guide to kilns and firing. Her years of teaching and experience as a maker are obvious in this book. It will save you countless hours on your own ceramic journey. * Simon Levin, potter, kiln builder, and Fulbright Scholar * Mastering Kilns & Firing offers a wealth of knowledge.
