Luminescent Ceramics

Capture your curiosity with Luminescent Ceramics by Morteza Sasanic Ghamsari, a visually rich and technically insightful guide that reimagines what fired clay can do when light becomes part of the medium. This book opens with striking imagery and clear, accessible explanations that invite makers, designers, and collectors into the glowing world of modern ceramic practice.

Inside, readers will find a balanced mix of creative vision and practical knowledge: explorations of luminous glazes and surface treatments, step-by-step approaches to achieving controlled glow effects, and thoughtful discussions of form, scale, and installation. The narrative connects contemporary techniques to regional aesthetic influences, making it relevant for studios and galleries across the Middle East, Europe, and North America.
