Ceramics Handbooks" are a series of practical guides for working potters, students and teachers. Today, most ceramic courses recommend the multiple firing of pieces. However, this was not always the case and this book explains how this change came about. It also discusses the pros and cons of using single firing and dispels many of the myths that have arisen about it."

Single Firing : The Pros and Cons

Fran Tristram

A&C Black

<p>Wherever the skills of the potter are taught today, it is likely that the ubiquitous bisc will make its appearance. Twice firing is common practice in almost every field of ceramics, despite the fact that it is historically a relative newcomer. In this book, Fran Tristram explores the older method of single firing, both through its history and through its practice. The reasons for its demise are revealed and explained, the myths surrounding it examined, and practical problems resolved. Although it is true that, like any other technique, single firing will not suit everybody, this book, drawing as it does on the long experience of many well-known single firers (e.g. Lucie Rie, Clive Bowen, Josie Walter), should give confidence to those who are willing to try.</p>
