33 Tried and True Ceramic Glaze Recipes is perfect for potters and ceramic artists who are ready to experiment with custom glazes, or for those who have grown tired of their own tried and true glazes. Don't waste time researching ceramic glaze recipe books or cruising websites when we’ve compiled a diverse selection right here in this handy clay studio resource - a must for your ceramics decorating arsenal! 33 Tried and True Ceramic Glaze Recipes has something for everyone, whether you are firing low in an electric kiln or soda firing to cone 10. Whether you are making functional pottery, ceramic sculpture or custom ceramic tile, there are glazes in this resource for you. We’ve included a variety of glaze recipes for each firing range: low fire, mid-range and high fire.

All of these glazes come from different kilns, different firing cycles, different altitudes and indeed, different attitudes toward glazing and firing. Remember to mix up small batches at first and test them in your kiln, with your firing cycle and glazing attitude! Good luck!
