and gloves can make this a fun and effective firing method I got a few ideas from reading this book, but I think if I were a beginner this would be enough information to be dangerous, but not enough to fire effectively. For example, for firing with ferric chloride, there is no mention that breathing fumes during firing can cause injury or death. Go to Amazon

Good information and tutorials! Great and informative book! Most of the Pottery books out there are for beginners, unless it's a glaze recipe book. This one has practical advice and tutorials on how to build alternative outdoor kilns to fire your work. I was lucky enough to go to a workshop and fire some gorgeous Pots under the tutelage of someone who's done it many times before, and looking to create create the same atmosphere for myself I ordered this book, and it's got all the Information I was looking for. I highly recommend this to someone who is looking to expand their process from the electric kiln. Posted is a photo of one my pots made with one of the processes explained in book. You can find this pot on Etsy if you look for me ;) Go to Amazon

It took 45 minutes and was beautiful. Some thing that always stopped me from experimenting with clay was the kiln issue. With this book I was able to explore older methods of firing and the beautiful surfaces that come from different methods of firing. I can even do this in my backyard. The neighbor did threaten to call the fire department so I gave him a pot. Now he is all into it. Thanks, Kirk Go to Amazon

emphasis on firing techniques, not kilns This is a very worthwhile and contentful book, just not what it seemed from the brief desciption. Hopefully this clarification is helpful to others: Go to Amazon

If you ever wanted to get back into ceramics on a shoe string. . .This is the book I haven't done ceramics for decades because of the high cost of the equipment needed. I had a wheel given to me by a friend, but without a kiln I wasn't able to do a thing. This book goes into a number of traditional kiln alternatives that blew me away. Some use old 55 gallon drums others cover pit firing. There is also a great tutorial on Terra Sig. How to make it, burnish it and fire it. Also included are a number of high quality photos of the authors work as well as other contributors. I have read this book and perused it pages 10 times and still I learn something new and valuable with each reading. Well worth the money. Five Stars and a sixth if it were posible. Go to Amazon
