Making Glazes
Note: registration for this class is now complete. Please email & we are happy to add your name to the waitlist
In this class we'll learn what is in glazes, what they're good for, and how to make our own. We'll begin by processing local clays & making them melt in the kiln.
Understanding fluxes, oxides, glass-formers; calculating batch recipes, adjusting proportions, treating glaze faults; applying glazes, loading & firing an electric kiln. Bring your notebook & respirator!
We’ll fire lots of tests in the cone 6 electric kiln, though what we learn will apply equally to cone 10 glazes.
Saturdays 10am - 12pm October 7 - December 2 (no class Thanksgiving week)
Teacher: Theo Helmstadter
Cost: $425
Limit: 8 students
