Ash Glaze: The Stories and Applications of Plant Ash
By|Hsueh Jui-fang
Ash glaze is an ancient glazing system with a legacy spanning two thousand years. From the natural ash deposits on primitive celadon to the human discovery of blending methods for natural plant ash glazes, and from the development of modern synthetic ash glazes to the popularity of wood-firing over the past 20 to 30 years, these all represent the diverse methods and expressions ceramicists use with ash glazes. This book provides a complete record of scientific knowledge related to ash glazes, serving as a research reference for ceramic workers and a learning resource for students in ceramics-related departments.
