Title: very little for anyone here
Product review: This book does a very poor job of presenting whatlittle information it contains.For the studio potter there is only one valuable piece of information:in electric firing, slow firing is good andlong soaks are better for proper glaze development.I've tried several of the cone 6 and cone 10 glaze recipes,the results were mostly awful. The technical discussionof materials and equipment is too brief to make thisa real resource in the studio. Most electric kilns nowcome with computer controllers, and there's nothing onhow to use them - just a few graphs of what an ideal firingcycle should look like.As other reviewers have noted, the black and white photographsdon't do justice to the pieces. Furthermore, the choice ofexamples is very biased towards the non-functional, sculptural,and just plain academic ugly. The overall presentation -choice of font, layout, and general lack of design alsocontributes to ones overall disappointment with this book.
