33 Tried and True Glaze Recipes is perfect for potters and ceramic artists who are ready to experiment with custom glazes, or for those who have grown tired of their own tried and true glazes. Don't waste time researching glaze recipe books or cruising websites when we’ve compiled a diverse selection right here in this handy clay studio resource - a must for your ceramics decorating arsenal!
33 Tried and True Glaze Recipes has something for everyone, whether you are firing low in an electric kiln or soda firing to cone 10. Whether you are making functional pottery, ceramic sculpture or custom ceramic tile, there are glazes in this resource for you. We’ve included a variety of glaze recipes for each firing range: low fire, mid-range and high fire.
Low fire Recipes include: 
Linda Arbuckle’s Maiolica Glaze (Cone 04)
James Haggerty’s Crater Glaze (Cones 08-04)
And lots more!
Mid Range Recipes include:
Blue-Green/Copper Red Glaze (Cone 6)
Wright’s Water Blue Glaze (Cones 1–6)
Fake Ash (Cone 6, reduction)
And lots more!
High Fire Recipes include:

Tom Coleman’s Vegas Red Glaze (Cone 8–10, reduction)
Elaine’s Coleman’s Celadon Base Glaze (Cone 8–11, reduction)
And lots more!
33 Tried and True Glaze Recipes also includes several useful references on glaze chemistry:
“Glazes: Materials, Mixing, Testing and Firing,” by Jeff Zamek is an overview of the things you need to keep in mind when assessing and testing new glazes.
“The Potter’s Palette,” by Robin Hopper is a reference you can use to begin altering the
color of a glaze.
“Primary Function of Common Ceramic Materials in Clay Bodies and Glazes,” is an overview of what different materials contribute to glazes and clay bodies.
Taken together, these references will illuminate the recipes in this book beyond the images, as well as other recipes not included here. You will be able not only to assess the glazes in terms of their suitability for your studio and your work, but you will begin to learn about how different glaze materials behave. You will discover that you have favorites, as well as enemies, and you may even decide that it is time to begin formulating your own glazes.
Each glaze recipe comes from Pottery Making Illustrated or Ceramics Monthly, and each comes with a detailed list of ingredients, a description of how the artist applied it, and a photo to show you how the glaze looks. Then you can decide if that's the right glaze for you, or if you want to experiment with a little variation..
