4-Week Glaze Technology Course

The aim of the course is to:

● allow you to gain an insight into the materials that make up glaze

● help you to gain a basic understanding of what these materials are and how they affect your glazes through experimentation and developing tests

● allow you to make basic glaze recipes from scratch and see the results each week

● give you extended knowledge through taking notes, discussing your findings, and sharing your results.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

● understand what the individual glaze ingredients do in a glaze

● understand how to put together different ingredients to create a glaze

● weigh different materials and mix glazes tests

● reflect on fired glaze tests and analyse results

● build your own folder of glaze recipes and results

● understand a basic awareness of Ceramics glaze, materials, and studio Health and Safety practices.

Suitable for beginners and professionals - no previous knowledge or practice is required.
