Glaze Mixing Workshop
Everything you'll need to know to mix up and test your own glazes. Also covering how to fire and repair a cone art kiln with a digital controller (8 years old).
August 20th, 21st, and 23rd
6pm - 8:30pm on the 20th and 21st
10am- 11:30am on the 23rd
We will learn how to mix up 1kg of a “base” glaze, following a glaze recipe. Then we will add different colorants to the glazes and get over 10 different glazes from one recipe. At the end of the workshop we will be able to review the results of over 50 possible glaze recipes!
Leaving this workshop, it is my goal that you feel empowered to mix your own glazes and test different colors in a glaze. You will also know more about firing a kiln and how to maintain it properly.
Day 1 (Aug 20th) - We enjoy snacks and drinks while learning about kiln repairs and firing a kiln. Kiln insurance, kiln maintenance, and all your extra questions will be discussed. You will be introduced to the glazes ingredients and glaze recipes and we will discuss materials and procedures for glaze mixing, storage, and testing.
Day 2 (Aug 21st)- We mix up test glazes togeter, in groups of 2, and glaze test tiles. You become familiar with the different glaze ingredients and how to read a glaze recipe. We load the kiln together and turn it on.
Day 3 (Aug 23rd) - We unload the kiln and examine our glaze results. There is a discussion about the various colors and we all take notes and pictures of the favorite glazes.
You will need: please bring your own
1. Emersion blender
