Specifications
This modern guide is designed for creating beautiful, transparent ceramics. Porcelain and bone china are well-known and appreciated for their delicacy and translucency, but they can be challenging to work with and may present specific problems for ceramicists and ceramic artists.
At Luminous Clay, bone china specialist Angela Mellor aims to clarify these clays, encouraging more ceramicists to explore these exciting materials. The book explains a new approach to working with bone china, a clay made by adding bone ash to porcelain.
With the introduction of paper pulp, the clay transforms, allowing for greater freedom of expression through handcrafting that was previously impossible, enabling the ceramicist to fully exploit the whiteness and translucency of the material. Stunning photographs throughout demonstrate how ceramicists worldwide can create extraordinary pieces that flow and bend light.
Mellor covers the main techniques for working with bone china, including mold-making methods and slip casting, as well as techniques that have allowed her to experiment with the transparency and surface of the clay. Decoration methods, firing processes, and electric lighting for maximum translucency are also explored, along with striking images and techniques used by other ceramic artists.
