内容説明
Lustreware, once associated with alchemy for its golden effects, may no longer be a guarded secret of potters and tillers, but the technique still intimidates many artists. The challenging mix of science and art requires a great deal of experimentation to achieve the desired results. Perfecting lustre demands patience, experience, and, above all, knowledge. Yet the iridescent beauty of this decorative technique makes it all worthwhile. Lustre takes on many appearances, from a warm coppery glow to a spectacular prismatic finish. In Lustre, ceramic artist Greg Daly demystifies the method and removes the guesswork from the process.
Lustre begins with a brief historical overview of the technique, from its origins in ninth-century Tunisia to the application of nanotechnology in the ceramics industry today. Daly then guides ceramicists through each lustre production method: pigment, glaze, resin, and fuming. In each case, he breaks down the essential techniques and important safety procedures through simple step-by-step instructions and recipes. The handbook provides detailed technical information in clear language and easy-to-read tables and charts. The results, presented in full-color photographs, are sure to inspire. Lustre features examples of some of the world's best ceramics.
Daly's encouraging and practical book gives intermediate to advanced ceramic makers and ceramic teachers the knowledge to produce an amazing variety of metallic finishes. This one-of-a-kind guide puts the magic of lustre within reach.

内容説明
A lustre is a thin layer of metal which is deposited onto the surface
of the pot during firing producing a lustrous surface. Lustres are very sought after, fabulous surfaces which can lure you in and keep you spellbound. Lustres can
be coloured as golds, coppers, reds and blues, or have a colourless sheen like
mother of pearl. Lustre is a very tricky technique offering spectacular results, but it can be
quite difficult to achieve successfully, and this handbook aims to
explain and simplify the process, with thorough coverage of all the
options. The book covers recipes for making your own lustres and
techniques for applying and firing (all critical factors), as well as showing you the results of the author's extensive testing to help point you in the right direction. Today one of the
most commonly used lustres is a resin lustre (known as the 'commercial'
lustre) which also contains some appalling thinners which are known
carcinogens. There is therefore an advantage to making your own
using more natural materials. This handbook covers every lustre that
can be made, with recipes and kiln instructions.
