About this product
Product Information
For thousands of years, the special properties of porcelain - its delicacy, translucency and remarkable strength - have fascinated and inspired, and it continues to have an enduring appeal for ceramic artists. It is also a notoriously demanding medium that presents unique challenges for the maker...In this practical guide, porcelain master Vivienne Foley introduces ceramicists to the material she has been working with for more than forty years. Beginning with the fascinating history of making in porcelain, from the Imperial kilns to the Meissen factory and beyond, she goes on to explain its composition and workability in comparison with other clay bodies. Methods of throwing and building are thoroughly covered, with a focus on techniques and faults unique to porcelain. Principles of decorating, glazing and firing are also explained, followed by a comprehensive troubleshooting chapter...Illustrated throughout with helpful how-to images, as well as the beautiful works of contemporary artists, Porcelain is the essential handbook for any ceramic student or artist seeking to understand and work with this extraordinary material.

Reviewing this book was a delight . . . A pleasure to read, beginning with a brief but engaging history of this amazing material, right back to the first proto-porcelains of 1700-1027 BC . . . [and featuring] an articulate analysis of the chemical constituents of porcelain . . . [and] a simple analysis of how the different components contribute to the workability of this material. ... The author's tips on taming the temperamental beauty generously proliferate throughout the book. Vivienne is so obviously 'in tune' with her material. ... Beautifully illustrated throughout . . . A 'must read' for all those who have an interest in working with porcelain, from student through to knowledge-seeking, established practitioner
