This 4 session class will explore the theory, crafting, and successful application of glaze. Students will create test tiles, formulate their own test glazes, examine results, and adjust recipes accordingly. Using their own premade bisqueware, students will also practice glaze application methods.
Materials that Claymates will be providing/lending: Disposable KN95 masks, scales, containers, gloves, sieves, all dry materials and clay.
Materials for students to provide: 6 pieces bisqueware, a notebook, an apron or towel. If you already have your own P100 mask, you can use it. If you have any specific mason stains you are interested in using, you can bring them (optional).
Skill level: This class is for continuing students who have an existing pottery practice (at any studio). This class does not include time for making work outside of test tiles, students are asked to bring up to 6 pieces of their own work (cone 6 clay) that has been bisque fired.
Price point: This class is 4 sessions long, but it is the same price and uses the same pass as our 6-week classes, as it requires more materials, equipment, and coordination to run.
