Teaching
I lead glaze workshops centered around chemistry and sculptural glaze. I am open to teaching opportunities in University, College or School scenarios. As well as glaze development, I have run teaching sessions based upon the connection between theory and practice to support students writing their dissertations.
Please get in touch if you want to discuss future opportunities.
Sculptural Glaze at Clay Shed
Explore glaze not as a decorative finish, but as a material with sculptural potential, during this one-day workshop.
Working with low and mid-range kiln temperatures (1050 & 1220 degrees), we’ll delve into glaze chemistry, focusing on how fluidity and flow can be controlled through the careful balancing of flux ratios, melting points and additives.
You’ll be introduced to the raw materials that encourage glaze movement and transformation in the kiln. Through hands on experimentation, you’ll mix and apply your own glaze tests, developing an understanding of how chemistry - not just heat - can drive the sculptural qualities of a surface.
