LIVRE "UNE PALETTE DE GLAÇURES EN FOUR ÉLECTRIQUE"

Electric kilns are now increasingly used by ceramists. Contrary to popular belief, among its many advantages, it offers the possibility of obtaining a wide range of glaze colours – from iron reds, whites, yellows and blacks to purple, forest green and indigo blue – as well as effects such as partridge feathers, leopard skin and poppy fields. 

In this book, ceramist Christine Ladevèze shares her wealth of experience in the science of glazes and reveals the many possibilities offered by oxidising firing in an electric kiln. 

Designed as a collection of recipes for both professional and amateur ceramists, it presents more than a hundred tried and tested glaze formulas resulting from the author's research over the last twenty-five years. For each one, the raw materials used and available in France, the density and the firing curve are specified. The numerous illustrations of tiles and creations also allow readers to appreciate all the nuances of colour and the results of the author's many experiments. 

This manual makes a rich palette of high-temperature glazes obtained in electric kilns accessible to all. Practical and accessible, it will be a valuable tool for anyone who wants to make their own glazes.
