A semester of knowledge

Natural Ash Glazing Course

A complete guide to ash glazes and natural materials, made simple.

Learn to source, make and apply your own clean, non-toxic glazes, each one deeply unique. You won't need to wrestle with chemistry, and you won't touch the toxic materials so many of us were never warned about.

I researched natural materials, such as ash glazes — materials that honour ceramics as the art practice it really is. And I fell deeply in love. The magic of it. The beauty of it. The connection with creation and nature. I want to share that knowledge with you.

This course is for the ceramicist who is ready to move beyond commercial glazes and create something truly their own

Along the way you'll learn the difference between ash glazes and natural mineral glazes, how to test safely, and how to bring your own creative expression into every batch you mix.

I will guide you beyond the technical foundations during Live Sessions: exploring your own personal glaze and creative palette, building your own recipe variations while covering food safety, going deeper into wabi-sabi-inspired imperfection and the fermentation process, and bringing it all together in a final live Q&A and hot-seat coaching session.
