Crystalline Glazes, Wednesday Evenings (Studio 2)

This class is suitable intermediate students with prior class experience that want to learn about testing glazes and how crystalline glazes work.

This class will be a mixture of lecture style sessions to learn relevant aspects of glaze theory, as well as hands-on time to make pieces and glaze tests. Students will have the opportunity to work on a "capstone" crystalline piece throughout the class, and will be expected to keep a notebook and help create test tiles for their glazes. The lab fee is included in the cost to cover the costs of materials for the class.

The base recipes for cone 6 glazes will be discussed and some of the base recipe will be provided for colorant line blends.

Students should bring the following items to class:

• OSHA-approved P100 respirator or dust mask, stored in a labeled gallon-size zip-lock bag
