Since discovering pottery in 2019, she has developed a deep interest in commercial glazes, dedicating much of her work to testing, layering, and exploring the rich possibilities of surface development. Through an ongoing process of experimentation, Shelley embraces both unexpected outcomes and carefully refined results, viewing each firing as an opportunity for discovery. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge and insights with fellow ceramic artists, fostering a deeper appreciation for the complexity and beauty of glaze chemistry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLocation:\u003c\/strong\u003e The Clay Warehouse - #10-1770 McLean Ave. Port Coquitlam, BC, V4C 4 K8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDates\/Times:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eSunday, July 12 from 1:30 - 4:00 PM\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eThis workshop is a lecture only with room for discussions, nothing will be made in class\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImportant information:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Slots Available:\u003c\/strong\u003e This workshop will host a maximum of 8 students\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClay and Glaze Experience Required\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis class is tailored for folks who have used commercial glazes before but are having difficulties achieving their desired results. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnsure you can commit to all class dates:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eWe plan our class dates far in advance to provide adequate notice for you to plan your life around our workshops.
