The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes covers mixing, testing, applying and firing hundreds of recipes to help ceramists of all skill levels gain a better understanding of glazes and the factors behind them. According to Ceramics Monthly, approximately 75% of potters glaze their pieces at mid-range temperatures―and this complete studio guide eliminates the guesswork from the popular process. Along with hundreds of recipes, it explores mixing, application, specific firing and cooling cycles, and all the factors that make glazes work. See how to boost colors with intense stains, washes, and underglazes; achieve stunning results that equal high-fire glazing, and expand the frontiers of mid-range with tips for wood, salt, and soda firing. Review: Great Book! - I recently started doing pottery again and I have been working with Cone 6 oxidation and Cone 7 reduction glazes. I pre-ordered this book a couple months ago and it finally arrived and I love it! The wealth of information in this book is truly impressive! It is a great book for anyone working with mid-range clay and glazes. I've included a short video of leafing through the book so you can get a general sense of the books format (text and images). The basic chapters include: Glaze: An Introduction Why Fire to Cone 6? Materials, Oxides, Colorants, and Melt Tests Mixing Glazes Application Kilns and Firing Safety Overview of Mid-Range Glazes: Clear and White Glazes, Iron Glazes, Shino Glazes, Red Glazes, Green Glazes, Blue Glazes, Purple Glazes, Matte Glazes, Black Glazes, Yellow Glazes, Crystalline Glazes, Ash Glazes, Salt, Soda, and Wood-Fired Glazes. Making the Most of Mid-Range Glazes Cone Charts Feldspar UMF Charts Frit UMG Chart Kiln Wash Chart The book includes a wide variety of glazes. It is organized well with dozens of charts that group similar glazes together so you can easily see not only the appearance of the glazes but also the chemicals included in the glaze. I believe this book is best summed up by John Britt's own words from page 7 of the book. "This book is designed to help the beginner through advanced student overcome the confusion (and perhaps fear) and to help make sense of mid-range glazes. Although it also contains hundreds of recipes, it will go beyond them to explain the principles behind the glazes. By comparing and contrasting recipes within a type and learning the way glazes work, you'll see how potters create variations within a type. This gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to create an infinite number of your own recipes." A great book! Review: Beautiful and Informative, Excellent Reference Book - Received the book today. Purchased it pre-publication so I was quite eager to get it. For those familiar with John's previous book on high-fire glazes, you will find the format familiar. It is laid out with general information on glazes, preparation, application and firing (oxidation and reduction), and testing. Then an overview of many types of glazes is given, with hundreds of photographs and recipes. The photos alone are inspirational and really demonstrate the wide range of outcomes available at these mid-range temperatures. I had spent a bunch of years working in the cone 10 range and after reading John's High-Fire book, I switched from many of my old standards to one's I found in his book. I am similarly anxious to find some improvements on cone 6 glazes I have been working with lately. This book is really great in that it can be read at many different levels. It is pretty enough to be left on a coffee table, or perhaps, better, used as a reference for recipes, or a technical read on understanding what is chemically happening to assist in developing and altering glazes to one's own needs. I wanted to share these impressions and I am certain more in-depth reviews will follow. I'll get back to reading and enjoying my new book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #36,874 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1 in Coatings, Ceramics & Glass Engineering #2 in Pottery & Ceramic Craft (Books) #3 in Ceramic Art | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 959 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes: Glazing and Firing at Cones 4-7 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Vb4npDy0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book! *by V***N on November 2, 2014* I recently started doing pottery again and I have been working with Cone 6 oxidation and Cone 7 reduction glazes.

I checked this out at my library multiple times and because I keep coming back to it I knew I needed to get my own copy. So much info and details about everything glaze. This book also has tons of tried and true glaze recipes! Some don't have pictures to show you what they look like or in some cases the pictures are on another page than the recipe. But you can find pictures online if you just google it. But that is the only critique I have. It is a must have 100%! He also has a high fire glaze book that is equally as valuable. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes: Glazing and Firing at Cones 4-7 - The Complete Guide to High-Fire Glazes: Glazing & Firing at Cone 10 (A Lark Ceramics Book) - Amazing Glaze: Techniques, Recipes, Finishing, and Firing (Mastering Ceramics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7714409-the-complete-guide-to-mid-range-glazes-glazing-and-firing](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/7714409-the-complete-guide-to-mid-range-glazes-glazing-and-firing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
