If you’ve ever opened a kiln and found something completely different from what you expected, and had no idea where to start troubleshooting, this course was built for that.

Most glaze problems don’t come from a lack of effort. They come from not knowing what is actually happening in the material. Why a glaze crawls. Why a colour disappears. Why something works once and never again.

This course is designed to change that. By the end, you won’t be guessing. You’ll be able to read a glaze, understand how it’s built, and make informed decisions in your own work, whether that’s adjusting a recipe, building a palette, or setting up a testing system you can rely on.

I built this course from the perspective of what I wish I had when I started. Not just information, but a way of thinking about glazes that makes the whole process feel logical rather than unpredictable.

Across five weeks, we cover the fundamentals that underpin all glaze making:

  • how a glaze is constructed
  • the roles of silica, alumina and fluxes
  • how raw materials interact
  • application and firing basics
  • building and adjusting colour
  • setting up a testing approach in your own studio

Each week includes clear handouts, practical experiments, and recorded material you can return to as needed.
