What's New in the Studio

The ceramics studio is full of great energy these days. Lots of interesting work, and creativity. We have a wide range of classes for Adults to choose from. There are daily daytime classes in addition to several evening classes for you night owls.


You may have noticed a lot of new test glaze samples in the glaze area. Peggy is busy trying out lots of new combinations to further expand our great glaze options. Check the small board for weekly updates on glazes. This week, you should note a change in the old red/brown has become dark brown.

Over time in the bucket - glazes can change. There are lots of factors that effect the outcome of a glaze, starting with the sourced materials/chemicals that actually make up the glaze. A supplier can modify or make a substitution in a product and for some recipies and clay bodies it will have no effect , but on others will have a dramatic change.

Interested in knowing more about glazes and glazing? Having a hard time getting results you like? How about a 2hr class - just about glazes and glazing? We are looking into running a special track just about the whole process- do's and dont's, why did that happen?, what's going on? More on this later.
