An essential guide to working with porcelain, from its history and
composition, to building, decorating and firing. For thousands of
years, the special properties of porcelain - its delicacy,
translucency and remarkable strength - have fascinated and
inspired, and these qualities continue to appeal to ceramic
artists. However, porcelain is also a notoriously demanding medium
that presents unique challenges. In this inspiring practical guide,
porcelain artist Vivienne Foley introduces you to the material she
has been working with for more than forty years. The book takes a
comprehensive look at all aspects of porcelain, and covers
everything from its composition and workability, to decorating and
glazing. Learn about methods of throwing and building - with a
focus on techniques and faults specific to porcelain, explore
drying and firing, and make use of a useful troubleshooting section
on all the most likely problems and faults along with suggested
remedies. Beginning with the fascinating history of making in
porcelain, from the Imperial kilns of China to the Meissen factory
of Germany and beyond, this book gives you an insight into the way
porcelain has been used in the past and how it has been adapted and
developed for contemporary work, by current artists who are
constantly looking to push the boundaries of possibility.
Illustrated throughout with helpful how-to images, as well as the
beautiful works of current artists, Porcelain is the essential
handbook for any ceramic student or artist seeking to understand
and work with this extraordinary material.
