Workshop: Ceramic Glaze Masterclass with John Britt
About this Workshop
This 3 day workshop will be a general overview of ceramic glazes, focusing on, but not limited to, cone 6 glazes. Join John Britt, a dynamic teacher and true master in the field as he teaches us about mid range glazes and what to expect during firing. The course 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. 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 John Britt’s book: “The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes: Glazing and Firing at cone 4 – 7”, but will go into more detail than the book allows.
