Pottery and Porcelain Restoration is a practical guide for amateurs
to the craft of the professional restorer. With over 360
photographs, it explains the simplest, safest and ethical
techniques that are recommended today and - essentially - do not
further damage your pieces. Written with clear practical detail, it
explains the full process and gives unique insight into the
delicate job of the ceramic restorer. This new book introduces the
history of pottery and porcelain, and gives an account of the
methods and ethics of ceramic restoration; it gives a complete list
and details of materials and equipment, and particularly advises on
the best choice of glues; it describes the full restoration
process, from preparation and cleaning to gluing and modelling, and
finally to painting and gilding and provides step-by-step
instructions for gluing multiple breaks, filling chips and large
missing areas, as well as making lids, teapot spouts, hands,
leaves, fingers and handles. Restoration examples are illustrated
such as making Beswick horse legs, replacing missing handles on a
Chinese jug and painting a Clarice Cliff jug and, finally, vital
tricks of the trade are shared throughout and useful tips to
setting up a workshop are given.
