Since we just passed 50K followers, we wanted to reintroduce ourselves to our newest members!

If you don't know, we are Rose & Matt Katz. We met as students at Alfred University where we were both studying ceramic art. After school Rose went to work as a glaze designer in the tile industry and Matt studied ceramic engineering from an artist’s perspective at Alfred and took up teaching glaze chemistry at the school.

We started CMW over six years ago, while Rose was working in tile and Matt was at home raising our boys. We wanted to help bring the classes that we developed for teaching at the university to the wider world. We have made it our goal to slay all the myths and rumors that permeate ceramics and use ceramic science to help the community make their work the best it can be.

Driven by a love to teach people and help them understand why their materials do what they do and we love busting myths and sacrificing sacred cows while we do it. We believe that learning how the chemistry of glazes works will ultimately have a profound effect on your studio and we want to show you how to do it.

Thanks for being a part of it! Here's to learning, new discoveries, and the next milestone!

Start making the glazes in our new digital glaze test book October 1st!

The next session of our full courses - Understanding Glazes, Advancing Glazes and Crystal Ball - is now open for enrollment! Note this session will fill quickly since we aren't running a July session this year, so enroll soon to make sure you get a spot!

Full courses include on demand lectures that you can watch on your own schedule, whenever and where ever you are! The hands on lab experiments give students a great insight into how glazes work (or don't work). And students also have option to attend bi-weekly live Q&A discussions with Matt to get feedback on their labs and ask any glaze questions that they have.

More info on our website http://www.ceramicmaterialsworkshop.com .
