It is also, by reputation, the most difficult of clays to work with and demands particular care at all stages of the making and firing process. In this book, the most up-to-date practical handbook on the subject, Jack Doherty looks at the diverse ways in which porcelain can be shaped and used. He examines porcelains recent history, and the clays, making methods, surface treatments, firing schedules, and recipes that can be used within the medium. Contemporary approaches to working with the material are also highlighted for students and ceramicists experimenting with the craft.
