Loyalist college - which is very close to where I live (about 90 miles east
of Toronto) has decided to offer a glaze calculation course this summer.
Margaret Barlow and I will teach it.
The pottery studio and computer lab are in the same building.
The course will be 5 days long - cost a little over $200 Canadian - plus a
materials fee.
Residences will cost a little over $100 Canadian.
You can drive here from Detroit in about 4 hours, from Buffalow in about 3
hours, from Rochester in about 2 hours.
There is bus & shuttle service from Toronto International Air Port.
If you want to know more - or have a book describing the summer courses at
Loyalist College let me know - and I will send them you request.

More on the course at Loyalist.
Sharon at Loyalist informs me my hours from estimates are too short - she
says to add 2 hours to each.
I did not include the dates - July 12 to the 16th.
I already have 12 inquiries so I am thinking the course will be a go - we
can accommodate about 14 - not trying to panic anyone but there is a limit.
The brochures will be printed in about 2 weeks - if you want loyalist to
mail you one just email your mailing address to me.
Margaret and I have decided to put the emphasis on learning the programs
and understanding how to use them to solve clay and glaze problems. That
means we will limit firings to one for the week.
A tentative course description.
Day one - Understanding the Seger Unity Formula and how it is used.
How to use either Insight or Glazemaster:
Entering a recipe.
Entering a material.
Adjusting calculated expansion.
Adjusting alumina/silica ratios.
Day Two.
Making a glaze from scratch.
Adjusting known glaze faults.
Mixing glazes to fire on Wednesday.
Day Three.
Same glaze different materials.
Combining glazes.
Making glazes more durable.
Fixing crazing, running and pinholes.
How to stop glazes from settling.
Day Four and Five.
Analyse fired glazes and apply changes to keep what you like and get rid of
what you don't like.
Formulate new glazes for testing at home.
Analyse all your glazes and see how they can be improved.
That's a tentative scenario - we will be flexible and address all concerns
within the time frame. It will be about helping each person able to leave
knowing how to use each program and how to apply solutions to common glaze
problems.
If anyone is interested I will be showing how I use calculation to manage
and adjust clay bodies for the two companies I work for.
