Working With Glaze Chemicals, Ted Camp
Ted Camp A
Thursdays 1:00-4:00
This course explores the chemical constituents of glazes in non-technical ways and would interest any student who is interested in making their own 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 for students making functional glazes is that the glaze needs to be food-safe and durable in its use. Students will test 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.

Fridays 1:00-4:00
The goal of this class is to introduce soft pastels and the many ways they can be used. Soft pastels are all about the layering of colors and building your image through those layers. Each student will develop their own style, no matter the subject, still life, landscape, seascape, figure, or portrait. How to prep work surfaces and how to transfer art to sanded paper. For the first half hour of each class, we will critique work created the week before. As a group, we will discuss each other’s artwork. This is a great time to talk about you, the artist, and briefly discuss your next step.
