About the Author
Potter, teacher, and writer, Michelle Coakes directs the ceramics program at the University of Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky. She has previously taught at Western Kentucky University, Florida Gulf Coast Art Center, Appalachian Center for Crafts, and Arrowmont School. Coakes has written on pottery for such publications as Ceramics Monthly and NCECA Journal, and also exhibits her own ceramic work.
Reviews
These two books are good sources of ideas for studio potters. Coakes presents a diverse collection of projects with glaze recipes and tips on technique from 19 potters. Many excellent photographs of additional pieces showcase the artists' work. Tichane has recipes and technical information for the ancient process of glazing with wood ash, which produces an earthy, mottled appearance favored by Asian potters. Tichane has researched the available information on ash glazes and brought it up-to-date for modern potters. This revised edition of a 1987 book has been expanded with an additional section of color photographs. Both books are suitable for crafts collections.
