Default Books on Spraying Glazes?

Does anyone know if there are any books out there dedicated to glaze spraying
techniques?
TIA, Gaye

HI Gaye,
I haven't found any books primarily on glaze spraying, but if you do - let
me know.

I have many books which have sections on glazing techniques, from dipping,
sponging to spraying.

I use the spray method, more than dipping, I prefer the more eveness that
you get with the spray and the blending between two glazes that you cant get
with dipping.

Try experimenting with masking tape, latex, and wax resist to create design
patterns. I am toying with the idea of incorporating natures own images
into my work in the form of ferns and leaves, but I dont think my husband
would appreciate me pulling the garden plants apart. So I am looking for a
good alternative - silk, or plastic which I can hold in front whilst I
spray.

You can get away with the glazes being a little thicker than you need with
the dipping method too!

It might be an idea to look at books that refer to airbrushing techniques to
get some ideas.

JM
