Chasing Color 2026: Cone 6 Glaze Workshop with John Britt
Advertisement
Rain City Clay is bringing glaze expert John Britt back for the third time! This three-day workshop will be a general overview of ceramic glazes, focusing on but not limited to cone 6 glazes. It is designed for the continuing beginner to intermediate ceramic artists. We will discuss cones, kilns, firing dynamics, and principles as well as how to apply those principles to various firing cycles. We are chasing color!
We will discuss how glazes work, how to adjust your glazes, and how to find new ones.
The workshop fee includes three days of instruction, raw materials for glazes, bisque-fired test tiles that you will get to keep, and the firings of these test tiles in the workshop.
