Two and a half years ago I quit my retail job in order to pursue learning an art. I took a pottery class because it was something I've always wanted to do. I immediately took to it and found that I had a talent for it. I started reading all the books I could find on the subject, and found they were a bit out of my league. So for a time I stayed away from some of the more technical ceramic books
The other day I picked up Electric Kiln Ceramics from the library and read it in a day. I found it informative and exciting. I know its weird to describe something that's almost like a textbook exciting, it wasn't because of how it was written, but because I realized how far I've come in the past 2 years. Not only did I understand the book, I felt encouraged by it.
As I'm starting to plan out my own studio, this book has given me ideas on to what I want and may need for it. I may check out more of his books and even buy this one to keep in the studio as reference.
