Feeling like picking glazes and using them can be a bit daunting? Not happy with the results you’ve been getting with pieces you’ve made? Want to create spectacular results? Look no further!

We will cover the foundational basics of using brushing glazes and give you the knowledge and confidence to create successful pieces you're happy with. If you’re interested in spectacular results and learning best practices for using commercial glazes that include how to pick the best brush for the job, making test tiles and documenting results, dealing with runny glazes, basic layering techniques, understanding terminology, keeping your glaze pints happy, using washes, picking the best glaze for your needs and what the heck a cone is…. Then this class is for you! Each participant will get to play around with layering glazes from various manufacturers and will leave the class with informative test pieces to add to their collection. 

Test pieces will be provided but participants are welcome to bring one piece of cone 6 bisqueware that is no larger than 5”x5”. Firing is included with the workshop. Pieces can be picked up one month from the workshop date. 

Materials to bring: 

• A note book for note taking

• An apron or towel if you would like

• Any favorite glaze brushes that you prefer to use (we will have brushes available)

• Any questions that may have come up during your glazing process

What Glazed provides: 

• Tried and true glazes to play with
