CERAMICS STUDIO GUIDE THE (ZAMEK)

Learning from others’ mistakes is always more efficient and less costly than committing them yourself.. Making functional pottery or ceramic sculpture entails processes in forming clay, drying clay, glazing, and firing. Any one of these steps can cause failures. As ceramics consultant Jeff Zamek points out, under ideal conditions a beginning or advanced student would be guided by a teacher at every step; mistakes and bad habits would be caught as they occurred and corrected. As Zamek says, “This book offers you forty years of wisdom, generated by my students’ and my client ceramics companies’ issues with clays, glazes, and kiln firing.” This guide helps potters to succeed.
