Learn what your glazes are made of

Do glaze recipes feel like reading a foreign language to you?

Potters use all sorts of seemingly complicated and technical materials like Wollastonite, Feldspars, Nepheline Syenite, Gerstley Borate etc.

What are all those materials there for?

Many potters just weigh out these materials without having a clue why they're in the glaze or what function they perform.

I was mixing my own glazes for 5 years before I really started learning about the glaze materials I was using.

For 5 years, I had the same question that many of you have "What do the glaze materials do?"

This is the most common question I hear from potters when they first start using glaze recipes and mixing their own glazes from scratch.

In fact, I posted a survey in my Facebook group to see what people most want to learn about when it comes to glazes. Here are the results:

Glaze materials are clearly the missing piece that potters want to learn most.

A class for beginners

Understanding the role each material plays in our glaze, even on a basic level, can feel very empowering. It's the first step to understanding glaze chemistry, which opens up a whole new world of ceramic possibilities.

If you’re ready to start learning about glaze materials, then you don’t want to miss this beginner friendly class where you'll learn:

• An overview of what glazes are made of
• How glazes melt in the kiln
• How each material fits into the equation
• Different categories of materials and how materials in the same category can be substituted for each other
• The chemistry behind each material with reference to the periodic table of elements

No experience with glaze chemistry is required, we'll start with the basics.

After you take this class, you're going to feel so much smarter the next time you're adding a material like Whiting to the glaze bucket and you think to yourself "Whiting is also known as calcium carbonate, which is a secondary flux that helps the glaze to melt."

Nerd alert! Get ready to embrace your inner nerdiness.

If you've ever looked at a glaze recipe and thought “I have no idea what any of this means” then this class was made for you!
