GLAZE OF OUR LIVES:
Understanding Glazes for the Beginner
with Matthew Katz
October 12-25, 2025
Glaze of Our Lives is a comprehensive beginner study of ceramic glazes that helps people with little or no experience, learn about what glazes are and how they work.
In this 14 day in person workshop we will answer all of the questions you have and smash a lot of the ceramic myths you may have been told. We will take the mystery of materials, formulas and firings and translate them to change your studio forever!
The workshop will be led by Matthew Katz, who has worked as an Artist and Ceramic Engineer for 25 years. Matt is a co-founder of Ceramic Materials Workshop, an online teaching platform that teaches the ceramics community about glazes and clay. He uses his knowledge of art and engineering to make ceramic science understandable and accessible for people of all experience levels.
TUITION: USD $2200 inclusive of all studio materials, glazes and firings, catered lunches, welcome dinner, and excursions around the island. We will assist in making recommendations for bookings for nearby hotels, bungalows or home-stays in convenient proximity to Gaya studio (accommodation is not included in tuition).
