Masters: Porcelain: Major Works by Leading Ceramists (Masters)
What motivates and inspires the finest porcelain artists working today? Forty internationally celebrated masters reveal their secrets, explaining just how they work with this incredibly demanding ceramic material, prized for its pristine beauty. Pure white and wonderfully delicate, porcelain is what clay potters usually graduate to only after years of honing their skills. This diverse collection showcases the results of that dedication, and the versatility is simply breathtaking: Claire Curneen presents highly emotive, tactile figurative forms. Edmund de Waal’s elegant celadon site-specific vessel installations are renowned for their meditative presence. Harlan House’s finely carved vessels take inspiration from nature's organic forms, while Bodil Manz's eggshell porcelain cylinders are so translucent that you can sometimes discern light and shadow passing through the walls of his pots. .

Characterization Techniques for Ceramists
This book was written to introduce and discuss the major characterization techniques and instruments used in today's ceramics and materials laboratories. Many ceramic and materials engineers, technicians, and managers are responsible for selection of characterization techniques, purchase of instruments or analytical services, performance of routine analyses, interpretation of data, and application of test results to their processes. Many of these same technical people do not want, need, nor care to know the complete derivations and the full equations governing each available characterization technique. In fact, it is unnecessary for anyone to wade through differential equations, complex physics, quantum mechanics, chemistry, or geometric derivations, before they can decide whether or not they need to use a particular characterization technique, or before they can perform an analysis using an instrument. Most technical people simply want to know which techniques are available, what each technique can do, and how each type of characterization procedure is useful. This book was written for these engineers, technicians, and managers. In this book, discussions will cover the fundamental purposes of each technique, how each works, what each does, how results generated by each can be used, and how each characterization tool fits into the grand scheme of materials characterization. This book should be appropriate (1) as a handy reference for all ceramic and materials engineers, technicians, and managers, (2) as a textbook for characterization survey courses at the undergraduate level, and (3) when supplemented with personal research (that is, with detailed homework assignments) into technical articles and advanced textbooks covering each characterization technique, this book should be appropriate as the basis for graduate characterization courses..

Rheology for Ceramists
This book was written to help ceramists to understand the subject of rheology as it applies to suspensions. Unlike other subjects, ceramists must deal with suspensions and the complexities of viscous behaviors from the first day they set foot into a ceramics lab or production environment. Topics discussed include viscosity and rheology fundamentals, syneresis and dilatancy and their causes and effects in ceramic process systems, the rheological effects of gelation, flocculation, and deflocculation, as well as the different types of viscometers that can be used to measure rheological properties. Many practical considerations are included throughout this book. The discussion in the final chapter covers the methods available to adjust and control suspension rheologies in the ceramic process environment. This book will be valuable reading and a handy reference for all ceramists, including students, technicians, engineers, managers, and artists, who want to learn more about the rheology of suspensions..

Particle Calculations for Ceramists
This book was written to aid all ceramists to perform fundamental particle calculations Discussions and sample calculations cover, for example, particle surface areas and volumes, slip densities and solids contents, particle size distributions, bulk volume and density, comparing and combining particle size distributions, and particle packing. The various particle size distribution presentation forms, i.e. linear, semi-log, and log-log charts, as well as histograms and cumulative distribution plots, are presented and discussed. Brief explanations accompanying each topic precede the many sample calculations. This book should be a handy reference for ceramic technicians, engineers, scientists, artists, and anyone else involved in the exciting field of fine particle processing and control..
