We're delighted to welcome Todd Hickerson of Mayco back to Potclays for our annual Open Day!

MAYCO DEMOS AT OUR OPEN DAY on Saturday 3 October 2026

We're delighted to welcome Todd Hickerson of Mayco back to Potclays for a full day of Open Day demos in addition to four full-day glazing workshops running fromTuesday to Friday.

At our Open Day, we'll be running three 1 hour product training sessions at 10am, 11.30am, and 1.30pm. The content (demo and Q&A) is repeated at each session. Demo places are free but limited to 20 seated places at each session, so booking is essential.

A full range of Mayco products will be available to purchase at Open Day discounts.

Perhaps you'd also like to book one of our full-day Mayco workshops in the week prior to the Open Day, and get hands-on with Mayco glazes? Full details below.

If you’d like to stay in the area, there are plenty of accommodation options nearby. For example, Potbank at Spode, Premier Inn Hanley, DoubleTree by Hilton, and Hilton Garden Inn are under 3 miles away. The Clayhanger Guest House is ¾ mile away (Newcastle direction).

We're delighted to welcome Todd Hickerson of Mayco back to Potclays for four full-day mid-high fire glaze workshops, plus a day of demos at our Open Day.

You will learn how these products create great results from cone 06-10, and cover the best practices using Mayco glazes to achieve new and unique looks. Build confidence to take your glazing skills further, experiment more, and make the most out of just a few glazes with this class!

The workshops will take place on Tuesday 29/9, Wednesday 30/9, Thursday 1/10 and Friday 2/10 from 10:00am to 4:00pm. The content of the Tuesday workshop is repeated on Thursday, and likewise for the Wednesday and Friday workshop.
