    In this workshop, renowned potter John Britt will present an overview of ceramic glazes with an emphasis on mid-range (cone 6) firing. While this class is intended for beginner to intermediate potters, it's open to all skill levels.

    Reviewing glaze classifications of glazes, like ash, celadon, temmoku, etc., John will explain the chemistry and function of each glaze type, methods for achieving desired surfaces, strategies for adjusting glaze recipes, and approaches to finding or developing new glazes. Students will spend a day making their own glazes; We will then fire test tiles so we can review + discuss results as a group.

    Additionally, John will review cones, kilns, firing dynamics, and the application of these principles to a variety of firing schedules.

    Selected glazes from his book, The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes: Glazing and Firing at Cone 4–7, will be examined in greater depth than in the published text.

    Whether you’re ready to start developing your own mid-range glazes or simply curious about the glaze world, this workshop will give you the tools, knowledge, and confidence to start exploring glazes!

Hosting a John Britt Workshop

Workshop Locations

If you are interested in a cone 6 glaze workshop and it is within 10 -12 hours driving from Asheville, NC, then I can bring 2500 test tiles and it is very easy to do. We only need a some tables, chairs and a room that holds 20 – 35 people and I will explain glazes, firing, testing, safety, adjusting glazes, etc. in a relaxed atmosphere of fun and learning. If you are not within that range, I can always fly to your studio and we can discuss what you need.

Hands On Workshops

If you're interested in a cone 6 hands on testing workshop then we need a ceramic studio, but it doesn’t have to be sophisticated. I have done it in many venues that are just normal potters studios

I also do hands on weekend glazing and firing workshop on Oil Spot, Copper Red, Shino, Mid-Range Crystalline glazes. I also do low fire sculpture workshops.

Cancellation Policy

Workshops are scheduled with my no risk policy. If we don’t fill the workshop at 30 days out from the scheduled workshop, we just cancel or postpone it and no one loses money.

Experience

I have done over 250 workshops across the US as well as Canada and Europe. If you need more information, check out my Resume
