This class is recommended for individuals with prior clay experience, throwing on the wheel, and/or handbuilding. Demonstrations will focus on glazing rather than on throwing and construction. Students will initially build a small body of work to test different glazing techniques throughout the class. Classes will cover different glaze techniques, including mocha diffusion, bubble glazing, peacock glazing, sgraffito/mishima, shaving cream, taping, and oxides. The class will also explore basic glaze chemistry and mix up small test batches of new glazes.
You must purchase clay from CMC. It is not included in the cost of tuition.
