Summary

A Potters Guide to Raw Glazing and Oil Firing offers advanced potters detailed instructions on the time- and money- saving techniques of raw glazing and drainoil firing.

Economy and ecology are the watch-words at the authors Tuscarora (Nevada) Pottery School: all the pieces are single fired, the fuel is waste drainoil, and the kilns are built with only one layer of firebricks and with earthen blocks used as secondary insulation.

Challenging the popular assumption that clay must be bisqued in order to have glaze applied, the author explains, step-by-step, how to apply glazes to unfired clay at a wet, leather-hard, or dry state. He includes an extensive glaze list compiled with other potters from the United States and Great Britain.
