NPA Potters Circle – online talk

11 September 2025

I would like to invite you to the first of our new online members meeting “Potters Circle” on Thursday, 11th September at 19:30 on Zoom.

I will talk about glazes and glaze consistency. Stuff that I have learned from an online course taken with Sue McLeod, funded with a bursary from our NPA. Later meetings will cover Social Media, Kilns and there is a Christmas meet up in mind too. 🙂

So here is the planned agenda for this talk:

1. Setting yourself up for success

The process of glazing, methods of glazing, notes and more
Kilns and firings
2. Why (some) glazes are so inconsistent

Factors that affect glaze results
3. Specific Gravity – is it worth bothering?

Water content, Viscosity and Flocculation
4. Common glaze faults

Hard panning, pinholing, crawling, crazing.
Open Discussion
If you like to come, please sign up via LoveAdmin so we have a rough idea about the total numbers:
