Pottery Workshop - John Britt Cone 6 Ceramic Glaze
ActivityWinter/Spring 2016|#5296
Description
Join us for a weekend workshop featuring master potter and glaze maker John Britt! 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 and more. 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.
John will bring tiles samples from his book research as well as pots.
