Glazing Workshop

This group 'Glazing for Firing' workshop offers the opportunity to glaze and add colour to complete any pieces made with Susie which have been fired to bisqueware. You will then be able to have these pieces fired in the kiln to stoneware.

With a wide choice of colours and colour combinations possible Susie will support, advise and guide you in the application of your  glazing choices. (Never use a cracked pot for food and always double check the glaze you use is food-safe as appropriate).

All being well, once fired your work should be frost-resist, food-safe, oven-proof, dishwasher and microwave friendly.

Your pottery will be made ready for you to collect from The Base 4 - 6 weeks after the workshop. Susie will notify you when it is ready. You must let Susie know which pieces you would like to glaze for firing, which course or course date you made them and send her a clearly named photo of your pieces with your name/ initials / potters mark clearly identifiable for reference.

Please book to secure your place. (8 places max).

Please be aware this course includes:

1). Please note there is a nominal additional 'item by item' charge for pot care and firing (depending on the size and scale of your work) to be paid by cash or card directly to Susie during the glazing workshop. This £5 per piece up to 15cm will be made in contribution to the expenses once you know how many pieces you will be putting in the firing - this purely contributes to kiln expenses. 

2). A request that you please email to check in and inform Susie regarding any additional needs you may wish to make us aware of prior to or when booking.

3). Please note that a ticketing fee is included in the price of this course which is non-refundable in any circumstances. In the event of cancellations made less than 2 weeks before the course begins no fees are refundable. In the event of Susie needing to cancel a session, an alternative date or refund for that session will be offered to you.

4). You are advised to dress for mess and bring an apron, and a water bottle.

5). Please be prepared for some fun, and also to lend a hand with cleaning, tidying and packing away the equipment at the end of the session.

6). Do be aware that how your pottery behaves in the firing cannot be guaranteed - pray to the kiln gods - with appreciation that even the most accomplished of potters expect a percentage of resilience building experiences when firing their work. [Please feel free to attend the workshop between 5pm and 8.30pm].
