OverviewA guide to the historical and technical side of salt glazing with work from leading international salt glazing artists. Salt-glazing has a long history, from its early use in German storage jars, then in Victorian industrial sewage pipes to its current position as one of the most exciting areas of studio ceramics. In this book, Phil Rogers teaches you all aspects of this very special glazing technique. Starting with a brief overview of the history of salt glazing, he then discusses the technical considerations that set this form of glazing apart from all others. Given particular consideration are kilns, which are such an important factor in this technique. Finally, discover the work of the world's leading artists using this particular medium. Salt glazing, with its distinctive 'orange peel' surface, has long attracted both makers and collectors. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this book is a must on the reference shelves of all ceramicists and collectors or studio ceramics, but it should particularly appeal to all those who enjoy the wonderful surface textures that this medium provides.
