a fantastic spectrum of colourful glazes. Colour in Glazes teaches

colouring oxides in detail, including the newly available rare
earth oxides. Find out about the types of base glazes and the
fluxes used to make them in relation to colour response as well as
using colouring oxides to achieve depth and variety of colour,
rather than resorting to commercial ceramic stains. Discover the
practical aspects of mixing, applying, testing and adjusting
glazes, and explore a large section of test tiles and glaze recipes
for use on white earthenware, stoneware and porcelain fired in
electric, gas and salt kilns. This new edition, fully updated and

colour you want, and to help you broaden your palette.

There is renewed interest among art photographers in a number of
historic printing techniques because of the remarkable effects they
produce. The reader will discover how to create beautifully tinted
mono- and polychromatic gum and oil images using the author's
version of this 19th century technique. Step-by-step illustrated
instructions with directions for further experimentation provide a
perfect source for learning this new, yet old, printing technique.
Gumoil printing involves contact-printing a positive transparency
onto gum-coated paper. Oil paint is then applied and rubbed into
nongummed areas of the print. With bleach etching, mono- and
polychromatic variations are possible. A chapter on digital
printing combines the new and the historic, making this technique
even more accessible for the art photographer.
