Review Quotes:
"This is a book which I know I'm going to use. Her satin glazes are particularly appealing, and there are sections on the more experimental aspects ... I feel inspired by this book and I hope others will too." --Mary Cousins, Shards
"If there is a classic among the publications on ceramic techniques, it is undoubtedly this recipe book" --Wladimir Vivas, Infoceramica (Bloomsbury translation)
