Glaze update
A couple of weeks ago, we let you know that we are trialing a new clear glaze recipe. Some crazing has been spotted on pieces made with Macs Mud Classic White. If you have experienced crazing with any other clay body please let us know. We will continue to try to fix any glaze issues so feedback is welcomed.
New Classes
If you missed out on a beginner pottery class this term, there are now two more short classes beginning soon:
Friday Introduction to Pottery with David Kenny - 4 weeks beginning 17th March
Sunday Wheel Throwing Taster with Sarah Steed - 4 weeks beginning 19th March
Raku firing scheduled
David will be running a raku firing on Tuesday 21st March 6-9pm. This one is during a Tuesday evening Play with Clay session and both members and non-members are welcome. For those unfamiliar with raku firing, there are some considerations for both clay (high fire), construction and glazes. More information is available on the booking page, or just flick us an email with any queries.
