Having issues with pinholing, crazing, crawling, blistering, cloudiness, shivering, poor color response, surface defects, or glaze fit? This consultation service is designed to help identify the root cause through a combination of glaze chemistry, firing analysis, clay body interaction, and process evaluation.
Two options are available depending on the level of support needed:
Guided Troubleshooting Consultation
Work through the issue together in a one-on-one consultation. This option is ideal for potters and ceramic artists who want to perform their own testing while receiving professional guidance on what to test, why the issue is occurring, and how to interpret results. Pricing covers consultation time only.
Support may include:
Recipe analysis
Firing schedule review
Clay body and glaze fit evaluation
Colorant and material troubleshooting
Testing strategy recommendations
Defect diagnosis and interpretation
Hands-On Testing & Development
For more in-depth support, testing and troubleshooting can be performed directly on your behalf at an hourly rate. This may include line blends, reformulation work, material substitutions, fit testing, surface development, durability considerations, and kiln/firing analysis.
Ideal for:
Persistent glaze defects
Commercial studio troubleshooting
Production consistency issues
New glaze development
Technical glaze refinement
Artists seeking a specific surface, color, or firing response
Every glaze problem is a systems problem. The goal is not simply to patch defects, but to understand the interaction between materials, chemistry, firing, and process so the issue can be solved reliably and repeatably.
