From the Ceramic Arts Bookstore check out this new book Surface Decoration: Finishing Techniques.
From their site:
“Surface Decoration: Finishing Techniques covers techniques at all stages of the ceramic process, including forming, leather-hard, bisque and even after the final glaze firing. Artists discuss their working styles and tools, some provide detailed step-by-step instructions, while others discuss their successes and trials in broader terms. You’ll find information on glazes and glazing, recipes, embossing, sgraffito, brushwork, printing, patinas, roulettes, stamping, decals, stains, resists, slips, china painting, stencils, faux finishes, and more.”
Check out their website for ordering info and other publications like:
