Glaze Workshop near Atlanta (Duluth GA) September 25-27, 2015
John Britt’s Cone 6 Ceramic Glaze Testing
3-Day Workshop
This is a 3-day hands-on Cone 6
glaze testing workshop is designed to show students how to test a base recipe
and get various colors. On Friday evening we will be preparing test tiles with
a base glaze and ten colorant variations. On Sunday we will discuss the results
when they are unloaded from the kiln.
The
workshop will also be a general overview of ceramic glazes, focusing on but not
limited to cone 6 glazes. 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. It will be
conducted in a casual question and answer format which will drive the content
of the weekend. Glazes will be discussed in a practical and easy to understand
dialogue designed to help potters gain an understanding of glazes, firing and
glazing.
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’s 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.
