All levels welcome.
For the hand building or wheel throwing student who wants to master their glazing techniques and become more confident in the glaze lab.
This 3 hour, hands-on workshop starts with the proper prep work on greenware before the application of glaze by dipping, pouring and brushing. We’ll start with the importance of getting the correct thickness of glaze materials used for each application method.
We’ll also go over how to layer combinations of different glazes together, as well as the use of wax to isolate areas of the piece in the glazing process. The use of slips, engobes, oxides and underglazes will also be discussed.
This workshop is ideal for the student taking a multi-week class to better understand glazing techniques.
Students to pick up glaze fired work within 3 weeks of workshop
Materials: Students are encouraged to bring up to 4 bisque pieces to work on during workshop. Cone 5/6 glazes will be used. A detailed class syllabus will be given to each student at the beginning of workshop.

My work in the studio is the natural progression of two lifelong passions – the preparation, presentation and ultimate enjoyment of great food with others, and the satisfaction of feeling objects take form in my hands from a mound of clay. I’m lucky – I have a kitchen equipped to feed a small army, and just steps away, a studio with a wheel, a kiln and dozens of hand tools to assist in creating beautiful vessels to enhance the table and home. After receiving a degree in Ceramic Arts from Penn State, I built a career as an executive chef, primarily in Los Angeles, Philly and Boston. Once I was ready to hang up my apron professionally, my focus was fixed on returning to the studio where I could nurture an extension of my 30 year culinary career by combining the knowledge and skills I have in both disciplines. Inspired by living, working and teaching amid the New England charm of Cape Cod for many years, I now split my time between the Cape’s ever changing vistas, and the tropical backdrop of my Southwest Florida home and studio. I draw inspiration from my surroundings wherever I’m lucky enough to find myself, welcoming the afternoon sun to dry my pieces as they await the next steps of my process.
