Glaze Workshops

Yo,

I thought I would try to post some workshops I have coming up. Some are a week and others a weekend so don't have to take vacation time to attend.

These are great opportunities to learn about glazes/materials and firing in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Reading books and searching the internet is one way to learn about glazes but actually being there and having someone explain in plain English while you are glazing and firing is how you really learn. Take about 10 years off the learning curve and come to a workshop.

Hope to see you there.
