Ceramic Materials Workshop - Matt Katz Ceramic Materials Education

​About Understanding Glazes Online

About the course

Understanding Glazes Online is a 4 month course focused on the science behind glazes. No more myths and legends about how glazes work, only facts and science.

​The course provides information and science to help everyone utilize glazes in ways that will help them take control of their materials and make their studios the best they can be.

This is the same course that Matt Katz has been teaching for years at world class institutions, such as The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University, Montana State University, The University of Kansas, Harvard University, Hood College, Herron School of Art and the Minnesota New Institute for Ceramic Education. 


Course Objectives
This course aims to develop a basic understanding of the following:
  • Ceramic materials: their chemistry, origins, properties and functions
  • The tenants of heat and temperature as related to ceramic performance
  • Glaze formulas, analysis and performance
  • Glaze flaws: identification and correction
  • The function of ceramic oxides and color

Online Courses
Understanding Glazes Online is an ideal subject for an online course.  Understanding Glazes Online consists of 14 on-demand video lectures presented over 4 months.  The on-demand format is designed for the educational needs of the ceramicist.  Students are able to watch lectures as often as they like, providing them with the ability to absorb and engage with the information like never before. 

Students also can engage with the teachers in bi-weekly, live, online discussions. They can discuss the class with the teachers and other students. We will discuss the questions from the class that arise, as well as explore experiments and the studio in general. In addition, students are provided with discussion forum for each lecture, so they may start the conversation, there and then.

Students will have three months to engage in the course content. Extended access will be granted by supporting Ceramics Materials Workshop on Patreon. ​ 

Lecture content is complemented by short reading and experiments, that will make the online experience real, in your own studio.
