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 (June 26th, 6:30pm) - 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 (June 27th, 10am)- We mix up test glazes together, in groups of 2, and glaze test tiles. You become familiar with the different glaze ingredients and how to read a glaze recipe, as well as how to create your own unique glaze colors. We load the kiln together and turn it on.
Day 3 (June 28th, 6:30pm) - 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
2. Face mask with a p100 dust rating
3. Micro scale that is able to weigh to 0.01 grams
More details about what to bring will be sent out in a welcome email about 1 week before the class begins in June.
Amy will provide: the test tiles and glaze chemicals, as well as snacks and drinks on the first evening.
* This workshop is not refundable, as it is holding a place for you in the workshop with a limited number of spaces and it prevents others from taking your spot.
