Surface
Design for Ceramics
Artists at all levels of experience will want Maureen Mill’s essential
reference for its comprehensive coverage of one of the most fundamental
yet creative aspects of ceramics: surface embellishment. A wealth of
practical information and detailed images lead you through every phase of
the process—from the wet and leather-hard stages (faceting, carving,
burnishing, and sprigging) through bisque ware (terra sigillata, image
transfer, resist and slip work), to firing (glazing methods) and
post-firing (decals, lusters, and raku). Time-tested recipes are offered
in abundance, photos of fired demonstration pieces show the final effect,
and top-quality contemporary gallery pictures display the fabulous
results. Sidebars throughout offer options for further exploration (144
pages, 500+ color photos, 8 ½” x 11” x ¾”) by Maureen Mills.

Ceramics
& Print - Second
Edition
Printmaking techniques have long been used in the pottery Industry. This
book briefly discusses the history of ceramics and print, and then
concentrates on related techniques used by contemporary ceramists
including: screen printing (both transfer decoration and working directly
on the clay), photographic processes, sponge printing, stamped ware, lino-cuts
and prints from plaster slabs. Printmaking techniques such as etching,
lithography, computer-generated laser printing, and photocopying are also
described and health and safety issues with relation to both media are
discussed. A Glossary of terms and list of suppliers are also included.
This new second edition has been significantly expanded and treats recent
developments in the use of the photocopier, laser printer, and
computer-generated prints. Many of the illustrations are new, and color
images now replace almost all of the earlier black-and-white photographs.
The book has been brought up to date and should add considerably to the
knowledge of this exciting and popular medium.(144 Pages & over 125
color images 6”x 9” X 1/4" Paperback) (Paul Scott)
