Mastering Raku--An In-Depth Look at Raku from Firing to Finishing

摘要

For so many potters—including me— who have been drawn to raku firing for its immediacy and the instant reward we receive as soon as the fast firing process is complete, Steven Branfman's new book on mastering the process offers the same immediate satisfaction. Just thumbing through the 175 full-color pages of this beautiful hardcover, it is obvious to me that Branfman has once again done a fine job of writing, organizing, and documenting the raku process. From the making of the ware and formulation of glazes to building raku kilns and the process of firing and post-fire reduction, this book simply provides everything you need to know about all aspects of this enticing and exciting firing technique.
