"I found answers to my questions on many issues that professional amateur ceramists face. 

The map not only indicates the origin of the defects but also provides information on possible solutions, which is very valuable, both for my professional practice and my teaching. Thank you very much, I am delighted with my purchase!"

"The defects map and the visual guide are particularly interesting and well-made! A professional response to questions that we frequently ask ourselves throughout the year, for which, until now, the answers have been particularly limited! 

A superb tool suitable for all potters, even with twenty years of experience!"

  • Do I need specific ceramic knowledge to understand the map?
    No, you do not need specific ceramic knowledge to understand the map.

    We want to make this an easy step for you. So if the map is not for you, get your money back. Zero risk.
  • How soon will I see improvements in my results after using the map?
    A large number of defects can be resolved extremely quickly. (Apply the solution and the defect will disappear in your next production!)
