For Flux Sake

This week's show starts with a discussion of a recent viral ceramic video and the merits of a potter dipping pots in water immediately after glazing. The gang also answer listener questions about the amount of boron glazes, melting in cone 6 mattes, and a safety concern from drinking out of a crazed mug.

For the first time ever the whole gang gathered in Boston for a live show at Harvard Ceramics. In this episode they answer listener questions about finding inspiration, altering glazes to fire hotter, dunting in plates, and the decomposition of iron in glazes. A very special thank you to Harvard Ceramics and the Harvard Ed Portal for hosting, and to the excellent questions the audience brought that evening.
