Guest JBaymore Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 What The Heck is Glaze Chemistry All About? Sharon Art Center Campus of New Hampshire Institute of Art Professor John Baymore This one day, seminar-type workshop will provide participants with a basic understanding of the core concepts that can impact the creation, use, and evaluation of ceramic glazes for studio use. The instruction of the widely popular ceramic chemistry calculation software, Insight, and its priciples will be presented. Troubleshooting of fired results, “food-safe†qualities, health and safety, legal requirements, and ventilation concepts will also be touched upon. Handouts will be provided to all participants. Students are encouraged, but not required, to bring a PC or Mac laptop to test out a trail copy of the Insight software. Prerequisite: Intermediate ceramics skills.

Celia UK Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Sometimes I WISH I was living in the U.S. - with access to courses such as this. I've spent hours looking for a ceramics course here in the UK that includes the theoretical and chemistry side of things, but to no avail! There are a few short courses covering various ceramics techniques but precious little else. I'm a retired 59 year old and would love to take a formal ceramics course - something more structured than the standard adult education evening courses - pinch pot, coil pot, slab building, throwing - work at your own pace......... If anyone in the UK can point me in the right direction I'd be really grateful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bciskepottery Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 John . . . opportunity calls. You and NHIA should offer one of those massively open on-line classes on glazes. Reach audiences around the world. Crash the internet bandwidth. Etc. Seriously, an idea worth thinking about. Fills a void. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US, we fought for, then celebrate our independence from Britain, then promptly named a bunch of our cities after towns there. I lived in Manchester for a while, just not for the U.K., or even New Hampshire for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
