Introduction to Crystalline Glazes 10 Week Workshop
Dive into the fascinating world of crystalline glazes. Learn how to create, apply, and adapt these magical glazes to grow stunning crystals at ^6.
The course will cover making test tiles, firing schedules, slow cooling, testing techniques and how to prepare your pieces for kiln firing.
Glaze recipes and test firings are included in the course. Basic glaze knowledge is an advantage but not essential.

Quarry Ceramics Award
Ceramics awards have been part of Northland’s art scene for over 20 years. For the first 15 years, the event ran as the Northland Potters Award, founded by Susie Leigh Rogers in partnership with New Zealand Potters to celebrate local ceramic artists. It was a $1000 acquisitive award sponsored by the Whangārei District Council, whose collection can still be viewed at Forum North and Botanica Gardens.
In 2018, the Quarry Arts Centre took over the awards, expanding them into a national event called the Open Ceramics Award, with the same top prize. In 2022, it became the Quarry Ceramics Awards, adding more categories and increasing the prize pool.
