Once the materials ignite\, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which affects the colours in glazes and clay bodies. The thermal shock of this also produces cracking/crazing\, producing unexpected outcomes.If you have any questions regarding the course\, please email hello@makercampus.co.uk \nYOUR TUTORLed by Peter Jones\, a ceramic artist who has run his own studio for over 26 years.
