      Introduction

      In this book, I will delve a little deeper into the art, looking at slightly more complex techniques and concepts, and going into deeper details on other subjects. The purpose of this book is to bring your ceramic art to new heights and ascend beyond the classification of a beginner.

      I’ve put a lot of effort into making this book as simple and easy to understand in the hopes of making ceramics feel more fun. I know very well how tedious it can be to read through pages and pages of complex explanations and descriptions that teach me barely anything that I can apply practically. Still, sometimes explanations of how something works are necessary. In those cases, I've done my best to sum them up into only the most important facts and to keep the terms as simple and straightforward as possible.

      Still, you don’t need to be a master of the arts with years of experience before you use this book. As long as you’ve got a good understanding of the basics of pottery glazing and enough knowledge to tell the difference between bisqueware and greenware, you have enough experience to use this book to its full potential.

      Chapter 1: Before You Start

      The most important thing to do before starting a ceramics project is to plan. No matter how great your skills are, or how much experience you have, if you don’t plan, you won’t be able to get the best out of your work. You can never do enough planning, and even if you end up doing something that wasn’t part of your planning, your planning will still have helped you get a better idea of what you wanted.
