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 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 will therefore be provided to the student as part of the class fee. MASK REQUIRED

Use of low-fire lusters will also be introduced. Discussion will focus on improving the aesthetics and refinement of the students end product.

Wondering why your painting is not being selected for the show or if it gets in it is not winning an award. This class doesn’t promise a blue ribbon the next show but will help guide you to getting there. Class begins with group critique. This often leads to further discussion on composition, what are judges looking for, color and more. After critique the instructor will meet with each student to give individual guidance for their artistic journey. This is not a project driven class. Each artist has their own paintings they are working on. MASK REQUIRED
