This Ceramics Monthly handbook is written by and about artists and experts. These articles cover a wide range of materials, recipes, and techniques used in the glazing of work by both studio potters and ceramic artists. This book is a great example of how the modern potter uses a combination of trial-and-error discoveries along with information from scientists and engineers in the field to achieve unique effects that are the signature of the current ceramic art movement. Net Wt. is 1.11 lbs.

This book gives both a broad overview of glazes and details specifics about them. It discusses preparation, adapting glazes to ceramic mixtures, firing, cooling, glazing with a brush, with a spraygun, handling defects and corrections, finishing processes, and using a crucible and kiln. The glazes reviewed included crystalline, raku, salt, and crackle. Net Wt. is 1.16 lbs.

Trap + 2 - 64 oz. bottles. Adapts easily to existing plumbing, wherever there is a p-trap (U-shaped joint). Translucent bottle enables you to see the contents of the trap at any time. Fill line easily and quickly shows when the trap needs to be serviced. Drain valve allows for all the water above the bottle to be drained prior to removal, eliminating spillage. Replacing the bottle takes less than 2 minutes, from start to finish, with no tools, no spillage, and no risk of coming into contact with the solids contained within the Gleco Trap. Package Wt. is 2.4 lbs.

Unlike artificial moisturizers, Gloves In A Bottle is a shielding lotion that bonds with the outermost layer of skin cells to turn it into what works like an invisible pair of gloves. These "invisible gloves" prevent dry skin by helping to keep moisture-robbing irritants out while better retaining your skin's own natural moisture, resulting in skin that is far better hydrated, over the long term, than what can ever be achieved by conventional lotions. Wt. is .159 lbs.

Removes Fired Gold, Purple Stains, Fired Lusters, Mother of Pearl, Fired Palladium, China Paint, & Fired Platinum. Put a small amount of Gold-Off on cloth. Don't let stand. Wipe off. Do not use on glass.

Impact resistant plastic. Graduated Cylinders are used to measure the specific gravity of slip. Specific Gravity is the ratio of the density (mass of a unit volume) of a substance to the density of a given reference material. Specific gravity usually means relative density with respect to water. Source: Wikipedia. Most ceramic slips have a density of around 1.75, with a range of 1.72-1.8. To measure, pour in 250 ml. of slip and weigh. Then clean the cylinder and fill with 250 ml. of water. 250 ml. of water should weigh 250 grams. At 1.75, the slip will probably weigh around 438 grams. If you divide the slip weight(438 grams) by the water(250 grams), you come up with a specific gravity of 1.75. If the specific gravity is around 1.72, you have too much water in your slip. Excessive water can cause excessive shrinking and cracking of the slip wall. Net Wt. is .25 lbs.
