A comprehensive guide with recipes for making your own lustres and
techniques for applying and firing them. A lustre is a thin layer
of metal which is deposited onto the surface of the pot during
firing and which produces a lustrous surface. Lustres are very
sought after, fabulous surfaces which can lure you in and keep you
spellbound. They can be coloured as golds, coppers, reds and blues,
or have a colourless sheen like mother of pearl. Although lustre is
a complex technique, this handbook explains and simplifies the
process of creating various types of lustre for you to enjoy
producing spectacular results. The book offers various recipes for
making your own lustres and techniques for applying and firing, and
shows you the results of Greg Daly's extensive testing to point you
in the right direction. One of the most commonly used lustres today
is a resin lustre (known as the 'commercial' lustre) which contains
some dangerous carcinogens thinners. There is therefore an
advantage to making your own lustre using more natural materials,
which will also give you an infinite variety of effects.
