- John Britt Glaze Workshop (with a Cone 6 Reduction Firing)
October 8 – 10, 2010
University of North Carolina Wilmington, Cultural Arts Building
Ceramic Studio 1004 and Lecture room 2005
This workshop will be a general overview of ceramic glazes and glaze materials as well as different firing methods. The workshop includes a cone 6 reduction firing as well as a cone 6 oxidation firing of participants’ work using glazes developed by John for this workshop. The glazes include Shino, Temmoku, copper red and others. This is a fairly new process that has been getting a lot of attention because it is less expensive and more environmentally friendly. John will discuss cones, kilns, firing dynamics and properties of ceramic materials. It will be done in a fun and relaxed atmosphere of question and answer as well as some more structured lecture periods. The content of the talk will be directed by the participants’ interest.

Fee: members $90.00 non-members: $100.00

October in NC. Hmm.... I might actually do this one.
ReplyDeleteActually, after talking to John, I am going to the one in Virginia (outside of DC - Northern VA Community College where Bill Schran teaches). The Wilmington workshop is more question and answer as the Northern VA is more hands on with applications in Cone 6 oxidation and reduction with the same glazes in different atmospheres.
