Clay and Glaze Information Workshop (Online Class)
Clay and Glaze Information Workshop (Online Class)
Instructor: Jeff Zamek
Day & Time: Saturday, 1–2pm
Dates: May 30, 2020
Meetings: 1
Location: Online via Zoom
Join ceramicist Jeff Zamek to learn about clays, glazes, kiln firings, and more. During this hour-long workshop, Jeff will go over the basics, share tips and information to deepen your understanding of the medium, and hold a Q&A session to answer participant questions. Jeff will show examples of the most common clay, glaze, and firing defects, as well as offer corrections.
At some point, every potter will encounter a defect. Diagnosing the cause and arriving at a solution will stop frustration, save time, and strengthen your pottery practice. There will be a short informative lecture on soda kiln firing and Jeff will also give out Cone 6 glaze formulas.

Online Classes at IS183
Though IS183 Art School has temporarily closed its doors due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are committed to our mission to provide hands-on art-making opportunities, keeping creativity alive during this challenging time. Our new Online Art series offers digital opportunities to work with talented IS183 Faculty Artists, bringing the studio experience to you!
Tuition
To make these classes as accessible as possible to everyone, we are offering each class with the option to select how much you want to pay. No matter which option you choose, you'll join the same class as everyone else. We trust that you will support IS183 with whatever you can afford, and encourage you to support the school with an additional donation during this challenging time, if possible.
How It Works
Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)
You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
