397: Fall Fund Drive: John Britt on problem solving in the glaze lab

Today on the Tales of a Red Clay Rambler Podcast I have an
interview with John Britt. A noted glaze chemist and author,
Britt has been making ceramics for over thirty-five years. In our
interview we talk about problem solving in the glaze lab and
balancing a career between making, teaching, and writing. His
books on high-fire and mid-range glazes are best sellers,
offering students an accessible way to study chemistry. For more
information visit www.johnbrittpottery.com.


 


Hey Red Clay Rambler fans, I want to thank you for spending your
time listening to world-class artists speak about their lives and
creativity. As we wrap up 2021, I need your help funding future
episodes. For our Fall Fund Drive I ask that if you are able, you
commit $4 a month to the show. That’s only a dollar an episode to
keep you inspired and connected to the greater ceramic community.
There are two easy ways to donate, one through the Pay Pal
