Bibliography (Specifically glaze books):
- Revealing Glazes: Using the Grid Method - Ian Currie, Bootstrap Press, June, 2000.
- Stoneware Glazes: A Systematic Approach - Ian Currie, Bootstrap Press, 2nd Ed., 1986.
(Ian Currie has a website for purchase of his books, directly from Australia, at http://ian.currie.to/)
- Clay and Glazes for the Potter - Daniel Rhodes, krause publications, Revised ed. 2000.
(Revised and expanded by Robin Hopper.)
- Ceramic Glazes - Parmelee, Cullen W., 2nd Ed. edited by E.D. Lynch and H.L. Friedberg, Industrial Publications, 1951.
(This was the text used at San Jose State College with Dr. Sanders, at least from 1952-1954 and probably long afterwards.)
- Ceramics Handbook: A Guide to Glaze Calculation, Materials and Processes - Charles McKee, Third Printing, Star Publishing Co., 1984. This is a particularly good reference for an overview of glaze materials, and what they contribute to glazes. It is a required text for the glaze classes at NVC.
- Glazes for Special Effects - Herbert H. Sanders, Watson Guptill Publications, 1974.
- Chinese Ceramic Glazes - A. L. Heatherington, London: At the University Press, 1937.
- Understanding Pottery Glazes - David Green, Faber and Faber, Limited, 1963. This is a great book to explain glaze chemistry in very understandable terms. Pete Pinnell recommends it (in a recent issue of Clay Times) as one of the four best books to have to learn about glazes. (The three others are Revealing Glazes, and Clay and Glazes for the Potter, both above, and the Hamer Encyclopoedia, which will be added here when the exact name and publisher can be inserted - they are at school now.)
- A Handbook of Pottery Glazes - David Green, Faber and Faber, Ltd., 1979, and Watson-Guptill Pubications, 1979. This book grew out of the one above, but has lots more in it, including some detailed descriptions of Hermann Seger's ground breaking research.
