Great book about turning common clay into useful ceramic objects. First published in 1914, it was still being printed during World War II. It was that good. The illustrations are excellent. The text is straight-to-the-point and easy to read. The author, George Cox, was an instructor in pottery and modeling at Columbia University.
Chapters include history, clays and pastes, built shapes, moulding & casting, jigger and jolley work, thrown shapes, turning or shaving, tile-making, draying, firing biscuit, glost firing, glazes and lustres, decoration, figurines, kilns, equipment for a small pottery or school and more.
