knowledge of how commercial potters' materials perform, the potter with an
adventurous spirit and an open mind to the potential of locally available
materials can create beautiful stoneware glazes that are individual to the
maker.
Friday includes an introduction to the glazes and materials and an explanation
of basic chemistry, followed by two runs of tests that will be fired later in
the day. Opening the kiln on Saturday, the tests will be evaluated and a
discussion conducted on how to improve the glazes. A follow-up series of tests
will be made and the kiln fired again, followed by a slide lecture of Mr.
Roger's work. The kiln will be opened on Sunday and the tests re-evaluated.
