This two-day course is for potters who already have a bit of basic glaze knowledge and want to learn how to mix and develop glazes. We’ll be covering the fundamentals of glaze chemistry in an accessible way including exploring how to fix glaze faults and alter glaze recipes to develop your own glaze. In this hands on and practical course, you will mix your own base glaze from scratch, and develop knowledge about oxides and stains for colouring your glazes. This course is led by Raphaela Seck and Jodie Crook-Giles who both work as professional potters, and have experience of working in a busy community pottery and teaching glazing and throwing. For more information about Raphaela and Jodie view their tutor profiles here.
The course runs on Saturday and Sunday with welcome drinks for all on Friday evening at 7pm and residents accommodation on Friday and Saturday nights. All participants
NB: If you decide to ‘do the double’ and take Raphy’s throwing course you will also get 5% off this course with the code DOINGTHEDOUBLE at checkout.
