Visiting Artist Workshop - Troubleshooting Glaze Defects

Pinholes, cracking, dunting, shivering, crazing, and exploding pots are some of the frequent problems that potters would encounter throughout their day-to-day studio practice. Troubleshooting strategies begin with an understanding of the causes of glaze faults with some solutions based simply on following studio, glazing and firing best practices. More challenging and persistent faults have multiple causes and are best approached using troubleshooting techniques.  

In this glaze trouble shooting workshop, Dr. Howard Sawhill will address the glaze faults from ceramic engineering perspective and teach students the best approach to develop troubleshooting strategies.
