The book bridges the gap between art and science, specifically geared towards potters who want to elevate their craft through a scientific understanding. The book demystifies scientific concepts relevant to ceramics, making them accessible for those who may not have a strong science background. Bloomfield, a scientist turned potter, dives into the world of geology, chemistry, and materials science, explaining how these fields influence the everyday work of a potter. By understanding the composition of clay bodies and how they interact with glazes during firing, potters gain greater control over their creations. The book tackles the fundamentals of chemistry in an easy-to-grasp way, empowering potters to make informed decisions about their clay and glaze choices. Bloomfield explores what makes a glaze stable and how different materials influence the final outcome. This knowledge allows potters to troubleshoot glaze faults and achieve the desired effects consistently.
