Book Reviews of The Potter's Encyclopedia of Color, Form and Decoration
Book Review: Very good book, lots of pictures.
Summary: 5 Stars
This book was a gift for my sister a ceramics student. She enjoyed it immensely finding it helpful,inspiring and offering lots of recipes for glazes, and heaps of pictures on shapes and firing styles. Its not a large book however is packed with lots of pictures and is a very good reference guide. More information could have been provided on how the firing styles were achieved but still this is an excellent book.
