As a hobby, china repairing is absorbingly interesting, very rewarding and potentially lucrative. It requires a minimum of equipment, little more than ordinary manual dexterity and a good eye for colour. This book will show you how to effect all types of repairs, from the simple glueing of broken plates to the rebuilding of missing parts in statuettes and figurines. Alternative techniques are often available for most repairs and these are fully described so that different readers can follow those which best suit their talents. And in the final chapters, for those who have developed their talents, the author explores the possibility of starting a china repairing business. In support of the text are a lavish number of excellenttechnique photographs by Bruce Perry and these deffnitely help to make this book one of the easiest of its kind to use.
