Got everyone working hard at the Roadrunner Ceramics glaze workshop in San Antonio! Special thanks to April Grunspan and Ron Wilson for setting everything up and making it happen.

Got a fun one coming up. Check it out on my website as well as a bunch of others.

Ice sculpture.

Don't know if you can see this, but I, like many potters, get these crack in my fingers from potting, especially in winter. Very painful. But recently saw my auto mechanic using super glue to "glue" the crack together. I tried it, worked pretty well. Little bit is all I needed. Not sure if it glued it together, but sealed the cut.

Leaves on ice.

Making second tier test tiles....fill that table or no dessert.

Ran the Plastic Vitrox Liner Base in the standard color blend. I will be taking these and 25 other colorblends down to Dunedin Art Center in February for a workshop. This will be a great workshop because it will allow us to run 25 other glazes in whatever we want during the workshop and still have 3000 tiles to look at for patterns in various oxides.

Ran the Ravenscrag Base of Tony Hansen in the standard color blend. I will be taking these and 25 other colorblends down to Dunedin Art Center in February for a workshop. This will be a great workshop because it will allow us to run w 25 other glazes in whatever we want during the workshop and still have 3000 tiles to look at for patterns in various oxides.

Another nice crawly effect from Spotted Glaze series.

Running a few more spotted glaze test...more tomorrow.

Few spots open in a Hands-on Cone 6 Glaze Workshop down in sunny Florida! We will talk about all things glazes - help you fill in the blanks. Pass it on to anyone you think would be interested. Thx!

Ian Currie Systematic Blend

New work. Wall pieces. Various shinos.

I have a trash can filled with bird seed. I left the lid open, and the next day found this little guy in there. Definitely a metaphor for something...

Check out Gabriel Kline's new book ! Very nice with good practical information about the ins and outs of glazing.

Having an interesting workshop in Tucson AZ in Feb.2019. Sponsored by Southern Arizona Clay Artists. Details on my website.

Eating lunch today out of my beautiful Fiestaware bowl. Last year I help them develop some glazes that they developed into the Fresco line. But today I was eating out of it and was just impressed at how spectacular it was! #fiestaware #fiestawareaddict #ceramics #johnbrittpottery #johnbritt #dinnerware #fresco #fiestawarefrescoisawesome https://ift.tt/2SrpE1d

This glaze is called Kitchen Sink Matte and in the color run with 0.5%chrome it kinda looks like a shino in electric on a dark body. Pinholes and all. Will post the recipe later...too tired to get up and get it.

Just finished up our glaze workshop. Great firing at Cornell studio. Excellent students! Super fun. Time! Doing it again here next weekend!!.#johnbrittpottery #johnbrittworkshops #cornellststudios #itisgreatindayton #pottery #glazes #glazedandconfused #ceramic #ceramicmaterials #colorblend #glazeworkshops #glazeworkshop #glazework #getterdone
