Hi Everyone,
I'm back from NCECA and almost caught up in my sleep. What a great=20
event. I won't add to the list of comments except to say I always enjoy=20=
it, but every one is a little different and you have set your own=20
course to get out of it what you want.
Per the request, a few weeks ago, to post info about workshops we are=20
giving, I am giving my next 1-day workshop on glazes on April 16 at the=20=
Rehoboth Art League in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. If you are interested,=20=
their phone is (302) 227-8408 -- ask to speak to Jane Casazza. Below is=20=
the summary of the workshop. This one has just been posted so I think=20
there is still space. I have one after that on April 30 at the=20
Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen Tyler Craft Center in Richboro, PA;=20
however, I think that one is already full. You can check by calling=20
them at 215-579-5997.
Below is the summary of the workshop.
----------------
Great Results from Electric Kilns
While the focus of this workshop will be on glazing and firing=20
functional pottery at cone 6, the principles are broadly applicable.=20
John Hesselberth, coauthor of the book Mastering Cone 6 Glazes and=20
author of GlazeMaster software, will, through slides, discussion, and=20
demonstrations, show you how to make glazes that are both=20
durable-in-use and attractive.=A0He will discuss and demonstrate use of=20=
the Seger unity formula as a tool, but promises it will be nearly=20
painless to even the most chemistry-phobic potter. In addition topics=20
such as 1) good procedures for weighing and mixing glazes, 2) glaze=20
application techniques, 3) in-studio and professional testing of your=20
glazes to assure suitability for use, and 4) the critical importance of=20=
proper firing of your kiln to glaze development will all be covered=20
during the day.=A0As time permits we'll take a look at some of your=20
glazes and glaze problems.
-------------
We generally have a lot of fun, so if you'd like to spend a day=20
immersed in glazes--well not really--check out one of these two=20
workshops.
Regards,
John

Hello,
Just wanted to announce that I am giving a workshop at Sierra Nevada
College in Lake Tahoe June 26 - 30 2006. It is entitled "Understanding
Basic Glaze Chemistry" and is described at:
http://www.sierranevada.edu/academic/vpa/summerart/workshops.html
The class has 12 participants so it is a go, but the more the better both
for our testing as well as the overall class knowledge pool and for Sierra
Nevada College.
We will be testing low, mid-range and high fire glazes and having lots of
fun too!
See you there,
John Britt

Hello all,
I just wanted to let everyone know that I am giving a cone 10 glaze
workshop on the weekend of September 15 =96 17, 2006 at the Lee Art Center
in Washington D.C.
I have given quite a few of these workshops and to date only three people
have died. Don=92t worry though, they were not members of the =93Glaze Free-=
Trade Society=94 so merely witnessing open and free dialogue about glazes
and recipes was so shocking to them that they died in ecstatic shock
several days later. It was a tragedy but they all had smiles on there
faces!
For more information go to:

Hope to see you there,
John Britt

Taylor,
If you would consider a Glaze Workshop in San Antonio, I'll be there the
week of October 14 and would love to attend a glaze workshop. If you plan
it they will come.... (ok, love Field of Dreams) I could arrange to come
early if the workshop happened to fall from October 13-14, but I have to
be at a wedding in Orlando on the 20th.
My fingers are crossed.

Hey all Clayarters,
Have you ever wished that you had a better understanding of glazes and =
how to make them do what you want?!
Well, that is exactly what you will get if you take this Basic Ceramic =
Raw Materials and Glaze Chemistry workshop. Rather than having tons of =
miscellaneous scraps of information floating around in your brain that =
only confuse you, you will have a chance to knit them together into a =
unified whole.=20
There are still couple of spots open and the more people we have the =
more information we can get from the tests. This is the opportunity you =
have been waiting for!
=20
Basic Ceramic Raw Materials and Glaze Chemistry=20
July 21 - 25, 2008 , $450.
Just 2 miles from Penland, North Carolina.
This course in basic ceramic chemistry is designed for potters who want =
to become acquainted with the materials used in ceramics, their origins =
and uses in low-fire, mid-range and high-fire glazes. We will cover =
oxides and their sources, the Seger Unity Molecular formula, and will =
mix and test glaze recipes on test tiles only. Some experience with =
ceramics is preferred.
If you are interested let me know.=20
Thanks,
John Britt Pottery=20

Dear John Britt,
Sounds like a great idea and a pathway to the Holy Grail of Ceramics.
I went to such a workshop with Greg Daly, think it was in 1991. To put
this into perspective, it was a two week event and twenty eight
students enrolled. By the end of the first week we had produced some
twelve thousand samples, fired in both reduction and oxidation.
I still have my notes and Greg's handouts. Eventually Greg published
an expanded and augmented version of his practice in 1995 under the
title "Glazes and Glazing Techniques", ISBN 0 - 86417 - 502 - 7
Nothing in this about the Seger equations but there is a wealth of
empiric evidence to show how materials interact with each other, which
is the basis of Chemistry.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.
Redhill,
South Australia.

Ivor,
I remember taking my first glaze class too. It was with Val Cusing and he
had 50 students. I don't think that we made that many tests but I do know
it was enough information for a lifetime!
We will be having a smaller class with about 8 students but it will cover
cone 05, cone 6 and cone 10. We will also fire in reduction and oxidation
and with both our cone 6 and cone 10 tiles. It should be very informativ=
e
and fun!
I have 6 students already and so I am sure we will fill it. If you know o=
f
anyone who is interested please send them my way.
Thanks,
John Britt
