Libros de Industrias de la cerámica y el vidrio

Memoir by potter Florian Gadsby chronicling his artistic journey, apprenticeship, and dedication to craft and discipline.

La cerámica es un Arte infinito. Un cósmos total: por algo fue "el arte" por excelencia de nuestros indígenas, y del hombre multidimensional que los antropólogos llaman "primitivo". Se relaciona con todo: con minerales y rocas; materias y fluidos (agua; aire). Con nuestros sentimientos y emociones; creencias y múltiples dimensiones. Con la sanación holística; el equilibrio psicofísico; la expresión y comunicación cultural. Como lo hemos definido en nuestro libro Qué es la Ceramología, se divide en tres ramas: científica, artística y cultural. La primera se relaciona con el conocimiento y diagnóstico de materias. La segunda con el hacer y el quehacer estético. Y la tercera con la arqueología, la antropología, el folklore, el arte popular... jamás terminaríamos de descubrir todas sus instancias e implicancias; relaciones y correlaciones; capacidades y posibilidades. Por ello afirmamos que es "el" Arte infinito.

The Kiln Book is the definitive guide to pottery kiln construction. Since this breakthrough book was first published more than thirty years ago, it has shown generations of ceramicists how to build safe, economical, and fully functional kilns that meet their specific creative needs. The revised fourth edition continues to cover all aspects of kiln construction through step-by-step instructions and detailed diagrams, with new information on alternative fuels and the latest designs.In The Kiln Book, master potter and kiln builder Frederick L. Olsen thoroughly describes fundamental kiln construction methods and design principles in clear, straightforward language. No one has made more custom kilns in more countries than Olsen. His kiln bible explains the inner workings of crossdraft, downdraft, updraft, and multidirectional draft kilns. It discusses the importance of proper masonry work and gives insights into the variety of refractory materials and their applications. The book also offers expert guidance on firing techniques and optimal firing schedules for various kiln styles. In addition to providing building guidance for the three major types of fuel-fired kilns, The Kiln Book includes information on electric kilns and other specialty designs. The practical instructions and illustrations are supplemented with tables, technical specifications, and other practical data.Richly illustrated with color photographs, building plans, and diagrams, The Kiln Book is an essential text for professional potters who want the freedom and control of firing works in their own kiln and for ceramics educators who wish to share the kiln-building experience with their students.

Since the publication of its Third Edition, there have been many notable advances in ceramic engineering. Modern Ceramic Engineering, Fourth Edition serves as an authoritative text and reference for both professionals and students seeking to understand key concepts of ceramics engineering by introducing the interrelationships among the structure, properties, processing, design concepts, and applications of advanced ceramics. Written in the same clear manner that made the previous editions so accessible, this latest edition has been expanded to include new information in almost every chapter, as well as two new chapters that present a variety of relevant case studies. The new edition now includes updated content on nanotechnology, the use of ceramics in integrated circuits, flash drives, and digital cameras, and the role of miniaturization that has made our modern digital devices possible, as well as information on electrochemical ceramics, updated discussions on LEDs, lasers and optical applications, and the role of ceramics in energy and pollution control technologies. It also highlights the increasing importance of modeling and simulation.
