It intends to assist potters to become more self-reliant by providing advice on the optimum use of locally available raw materials and by explaining techniques which will help potters to increase their production and their income. The first section of the book describes the whole sequence of producing refractory items. The second section deals with different kiln types and their functioning principles. The various methods of constructing kilns are treated in a practical way with comprehensive illustrations. Finally instructions are provided L:? the loading and tiring of kilns and on different methods of measuring temperature, including a thorough description of how pot- ters can make their own pyrometric cones.
