Soda Glazing - (Ceramics Handbooks) by Ruthanne Tudball (Paperback)

About the Book

Soda glazing is the environmentally safe alternative to firing a salt kin.

Book Synopsis

Soda glazing was, for many years, the neglected cousin of salt glazing. As pollution laws have become stricter, however, more potters have turned to soda and, to their delight, found not only the traditional orange peel surface but also a subtle palette of colors that have made them sit up and take notice.

In this book Ruthanne Tudball discusses the history of and techniques involved in soda glazing. She includes body and slip recipes, kiln designs, and firing methods specifically developed for soda glazing. She illustrates her text with the work of an international group of artists.
