Based on her many years of experience as an educator and as a professional potter, Lindsay gives the reader well-informed insight regarding what to consider, how to prepare, and those all-important health and safety concerns when working with kilns and firing., Potters who are ready to explore new atmospheric firing techniques will find Mastering Kilns & Firing to be an indispensable guide. Lindsay introduces each type of firing from an approachable, collaborative perspective with inspiring examples of contemporary work by a variety of artists. She guides readers so they not only learn the basics needed to achieve success, but also feel empowered to experiment, explore, and have fun., Accessible and readable, this book brings clarity and refreshing insight into the often-cumbersome process of wood- and alternative-firings. It is well organized and richly illustrated, covering all the bases., 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., Lindsay has produced a gorgeous and invaluable book for people with all levels of interest and skill. Clear prose and excellent presentation make this book a page-turner; I repeatedly found myself wondering what exquisite beauty and careful explanation lay ahead., Mastering Kilns & Firing offers a wealth of knowledge. Oesterritter's dedication both to processes and the community-building they inspire are apparent in her competent writing and echoed in the beautiful guest artist galleries. This text should be a staple of any clay worker's library.
