Workshops

  • Glaze Materials and Firing Made Simple

    January 17 -22, 2010

    Learn basic glaze chemistry of clay bodies and glazes

This overview of ceramic glazes is designed for intermediate to advanced potters seeking to expand their skills. Discussion of cones, kilns, firing dynamics and principles, as well as applying those principles to various firing cycles will be our focus. We’ll mix glazes and do color and line blends for cone 10, cone 06, and cone 05. Firing will be done on test tiles and your own bisque-fired mugs/cups.

  • Basic Ceramic Raw Materials and Glaze Chemistry

    June 7 – 11, 2010

Sierra Nevada College

This course in basic ceramic chemistry is designed for potters who want to become better acquainted with the materials used in ceramics, their origins and uses in high-fire, mid-range and low fire glazes. We will briefly cover oxides and their sources, the Seger Unity Molecular formula, and will mix and test glaze recipes on test tiles. Some experience with ceramics is preferred.
