We're delighted to welcome Todd Hickerson of Mayco back to Potclays this September to host a series of full-day glazing workshops! Important! Please ensure you have read all information carefully before booking a place. We're delighted to welcome Todd Hickerson of Mayco back to Potclays in September for four full-day mid-high fire workshops, plus a day of demos at our Open Day. This basic to intermediate workshop is designed to help you get the most out of Mayco Stoneware, Stroke and Coat, Jungle Gems, Elements, Textured glazes, and Mayco Fluxes, Washes and the brand new Engobes. Are you looking for flexibility in your firing temperatures or creating firing freedom? Todd will help you explore a variety of Mayco glazes that give great results from cone 04-10. Todd will also be covering the use and best practices of the new Mayco Engobes and stoneware glazes to achieve new and unique looks. Through this class you should gain the confidence to take your glazes further, experiment more, and make the most out of just a few glazes. The workshops will take place on Tuesday 10, Wednesday 11, Thursday 12 and Friday 13 September from 10:00am to 4:00pm at a cost of £65 per person (inclusive of VAT). Due to high demand for places, we are only able to allocate one place per person.
