Students will produce work and apply special glazes to their bisque-fired work BEFORE class. During class, work will be fired quickly and then removed from the hot kiln while the glazes are still molten. Work will then be placed into smoking chambers where the glazes will develop a variety of surface & colored effects unique to raku while rapidly cooling You will be encouraged to try naked raku, obvara & horsehair techniques. Fee includes 25 lbs of clay, in-studio glazing & firing.

This course explores the chemical constituents of glazes. Knowing what a chemical contributes to the glaze formula is critical in choosing chemicals that provide the surface or color a student is looking for. Another important area of concern in making functional glazes is that they be food-safe and durable. Students will receive a special computer glaze calculator, which will help them to see when a glaze is properly fluxed to produce a durable surface and will help them to know what it will look like before the glaze is made. Students will make their own glazes (for cone 6 electric or cone 10 reduction) and adjust them to produce desired results on test tiles. Time will be spent applying test glazes to test tiles, and not constructing work – no clay provided.

This is class-led, hands-on, and open to anyone who can center and pull a cylinder. Each week one of the participants will present a demonstration, challenge, or problem to work on. This can be based on an area of your expertise, something that interests you in clay, or a new technique to try together. You can present a problem to work on, such as lids, feet, handles, height. The focus can be on soft work, leather hard, or bisque. Sandra Symens will kick off the first class. There’s a lot of expertise and experience between us so let’s share. Class includes 25# of clay with a bisque and glaze firing.

There are a number of ways to work with repeatable images on clay. The simplest would be to use commercial stencils, which is where the course will begin. Following that will be the use of commercial rice paper transfers. The student will then be able to explore the use of monoprint transfer from rice paper of their own designs to clay. Time permitting, there will be an opportunity to learn ceramic decal making. Small examples of material needed for these techniques will be provided with the opportunity (not required) for the student to purchase larger sized material for the execution of these techniques. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, glazes, and all firing.

Friday 9:00 to 3:30

This is a 1 day workshop. In the morning, we will make tiles. These can be single or a series. You can determine a size then make multiples. Once your tile has no undercut, we can begin to cast them. After a quick lunch break, we will start making the molds. The molds can be used to make many tiles. I will demonstrate how they can be used to make slabs for hand building. Everyone will get 1 mold, maybe more depending on time and supplies. Class includes 12 lbs. of clay. There is a $5 fee payable to instructor for other supplies. Plaster is messy so we’ll be outside for that. Dress for the mess.

The basic steps to throwing will be the focus for beginners while more advanced students will be challenged by more complex forms and techniques for achieving greater scale or diversity of form. Demonstrations will repeatedly show the techniques, which will lead to the student’s success, through practice.
