Low-firing and Burnishing
Author: Sumi von Dassow

ISBN: 1408106361
Category : Art

Book Description
This book covers techniques of firing and finishing at low temperature without using glazes.

This book is a step-by-step practical approach and beginner's guide, which focuses on how to do low firing and natural finishes, with many illustrations of beautiful work by contemporary makers. Chapters include burnishing, terra sigillata, smoke-firing, pit-firing, saggar firing and raku techniques.
