Masterclasses
We invite artists to the studio to talk about their work.
John Britt: Cone 6 Ceramic Glaze Workshop
This workshop will be a general overview of ceramic glazes, focusing on but not limited to cone 6 glazes. It is designed for beginner to intermediate potters. We will discuss cones, kilns, firing dynamics and principles as well as applying those principles to various firing cycles. This will lead us into some basic classifications of glazes, like ash, celadon, temmoku, etc. We will discuss how and why each type of glaze works and how you can achieve them, how to adjust your glazes and how to find new ones. We will discuss glazes from my new book: “The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes: Glazing and Firing at cone 4 – 7”, but will go into more detail than the book allowed.
Dates: 2025 November 24th-26th

Kinsugi Masterclass
Kintsugi repair has been used in Japan for centuries, but little known to the rest of the world until recently, and is now enjoying a rennaisance of sorts. However, there are drawbacks to traditional kintsugi, namely the difficulty and expense of acquiring Urushi (the toxic lacquer from the lacquer tree), and the difficulties in handling and properly curing Urushi. This workshop will introduce participants to kintsugi techniques using an alternative material: epoxy resin, which is much easier to handle and cure properly, safe, and speeds the kintsugi process considerably.

Paola Masi
Masterclass
Paola Masi (Rome-Italy) is an artist with a deep sense of what lies unseen beyond form. Her practice consists in vessels thrown on the potter’s wheel in transition to abstract sculptures. Both her environment when growing up and her interest in eastern philosophy laid the foundation for the construction of her poetic and recognizable universe of unique ceramic sculptures, that dwell on the border of reality and reflection, the tangible and the invisible.
Her work is shown and collected in Europe, Japan and New York.
She is based in Barcelona.
