As I was getting ready for my Dayton /Cornell Studio Workshop on cone 6 glaze I plotted some glazes I researched for non-crazing at one 6 on "most" bodies and noticed how much tighter they were than the Stull map. I then did the same with other "limits/targets" noticing the variations. It is interesting to see.

Got a few beauties out of the firing. I will post more later. Headed to Dayton Ohio for a Glaze Workshop at Cornell Studio. If you know of anyone who would be interested there are a few spots open this weekend.

Wanted to thank everyone who helped make the workshop possible. ... I know it was a giant group effort but I really wanted to thank Carolyn, Cheryl , Carly , Linda etc...and everyone who made it possible. It's a lot of work when you have 30 + people...but boy was it a lot of fun and laughs. #John.britt1, #Johnbrittpottery, #glazeworkshops #glaze #glazeworkshop, #glazes, #awesomesauce, #glazework #fraservalley #fraservalleypottersguild #surreyartcentre

Got a few spots left in a workshop outside of Los Angles next week. It's going to be very unique one where we're going to just explore sculptural surfaces for a week!

Thx! #johnbrittworkshop #glazes #pottery #ceramics #sculpture #art #ceramicwor #ceramicsculpture #glazeworkshops #sculpturalsurfaces #bluewaterclay #cats
