Renowned for his sought-after conical bowls and jugs, he helped define the development of an electric-kiln aesthetic and transformed what oxidation firing could achieve. His work appears in major museums worldwide, and his bold, colourful surfaces continue to inspire ceramicists today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCooper pushed glaze chemistry far beyond the Leach tradition of muted, reduction-fired stoneware,  creating crater and lava glazes, oxide-rich slips and vivid surfaces  inspired by London''s colours and mineral forms. From turquoise and  shocking pink to molten gold, his glazes were as bold as their maker.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the first time, glaze expert Linda Bloomfield, who learned from Cooper''s books, attended his talks and was later invited by his partner, David Horbury,  to catalogue his archive, opens Cooper''s personal glaze notebooks.  Bloomfield reveals hundreds of unpublished recipes and the techniques  behind his signature effects. This book is an essential resource for  potters, ceramic artists and anyone fascinated by colour, chemistry and  the expressive potential of electric-kiln glaze.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57507732226421,"sku":"9781789944068","price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781789944068.jpg?v=1787042872","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/emmanuel-cooper-glazes","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
