On this episode, Becca sits down for a chat with Joshua Heim, owner of JH Pottery Works and Gebharts Floral Barn & Greenhouse in Warren, Indiana. We get a glimpse into Joshua's business lately during quarantine before jumping into answering common glaze & kiln issues, while getting into some glaze chemistry. We hope potters from amateur to expert can learn something new from our conversation or have a few laughs along the way.

Some of the topics covered include: pinholes, crazing, witness cones, what is a flux, frits, benefits of bentonite, why purple glazes are so hard to get, decal firing, kiln loading, kiln cool downs, element replacement
