The Art of Glazing: 1 Day Glaze Workshop with Mike Upp
December 4th, 2021: 9:00am – 4:00pm
$75.00
In this 7-hour workshop, we will cover everything from application techniques, to testing and tracking results, so you can re-create glazes and techniques consistently. We will discuss how to modify your glazes- in essence, creating new glazes with only a small amount of material. Almost all of the ideas and techniques will apply to Cone 10 as well as Cone 5/6 glazes. This workshop is definitely not technical and is designed to get people excited and positive about glazing. Here is an outline of some of the topics to be covered:
- Great potters of the past, on whose shoulders we stand.
- What makes up a glaze?
- Measuring Specific Gravity to ensure the glaze stays on the pot and not on the kiln shelf.
- How to significantly expand your glaze palette without increasing the number of glazes. Using slips, engobes, washes, and combining glazes to help achieve that goal.
- An overview of glaze faults and what to do about them.
- Demonstration and discussion of numerous approaches to glaze applications and techniques.
- The importance of testing and tracking your results – learning a straight forward methodology for tracking.
- Most Important – Applying some of the techniques learned in the workshop on your own pieces.
