Books by Sasha Wardell

Porcelain and bone china have fascinated patrons, collectors and makers for centuries. This practical book looks at their composition, making methods and decorative techniques, as well as glazes and firing processes. It examines their different characteristics and explains how designers have worked with these clays within the ceramic industry. This new edition includes an additional chapter that introduces emerging technologies and new materials. It is a beautiful book that gives an authoritative account of these enduring materials, which ceramicists enjoy so passionately. It includes over 250 colour illustrations of instructional photos and inspiring finished pieces.

Clearly explains and demonstrates the techniques involved and shows how they can be adapted for the studio workshop. Examples of the work of an international group of artists are used to illustrate the breadth and versatility of the work that can be created. The images in this second edition have been updated to colour.
