The Electric Kiln by Harry Fraser

The Electric Kiln is very much a manual of how to install your electric kiln and what to do if something goes wrong with it. The book is also a guide on how to make the best use of your kiln to achieve the effects you want. Almost by definition it mostly deals with oxidation but there is also a section on reduction firing. The Ceramics Handbook series was conceived as an introduction to various topics and techniques relating to the use of clay. The books are aimed at the student or the practised potter who is experimenting in a new area.
'A useful aid to all electric kiln owners.. Small but comprehensive... Information is enhanced with clear charts, diagrams and photographs.' Kent Potters Association Newsletter (May 2007) 'One of the most comprehensive and useful volumes from the Ceramic Handbooks series. [Written] with such clarity and meticulous attention to every aspect of designing, building, firing and maintaining electric kilns.' Ceramic Review (March/April 2007)
Harry Fraser was managing director of Potclay Kilns Ltd and is a well-known author and lecturer. He has over thirty years' experience in the design, development and promotion of kilns for studio ceramics and as a ceramicist and user of kilns. He is therefore uniquely qualified to write this book on using and making the most of your electric kiln.
