Got a Glaze Workshop coming up in the Wilmington NC area.

Cone 6 Ceramic Glaze Discussion/ Weekend
March 5-6, 2016
Leland Cultural Arts Center
A Visiting Artist Workshop with John Britt

Tuition: $225

This workshop will be a general overview of ceramic glazes, focusing on but not limited to cone 6 glazes. It is designed for beginner to intermediate potters. We will discuss cones, kilns, firing dynamics and principles as well as applying those principles to various firing cycles. This will lead us into some basic classifications of glazes, like ash, celadon, temmoku, etc. We will discuss how and why each type of glaze works and how you can achieve them, how to adjust your glazes and how to find new ones. We will discuss glazes from my new book: “The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes: Glazing and Firing at cone 4 – 7”, but will go into more detail than the book allowed.

There is no firing with this workshop but John will bring about 2500 test tile samples to help you get an understanding of what glazes can do... as well as some pots with a variety of glazes. I good way to get started with glazes and we will do it in an atmosphere of fun and dialogue so you don't have to be afraid !!!!! Generally in a question and answer format. It is actually a lot of fun.
