Learn to mix safe ^6 glazes! Three sessions, July 12, 19 and 20. Packaged, commercial mixes are convenient, but
they are expensive and the ingredients are a mystery. It's hard to "fix" a glaze when you don't know its ingredients...
and those "food safe" labels refer to the finished product, and don't necessarily mean raw glazes safe for the potter!
Sign up for this course to learn the hands-on basics of buying ingredients, following a glaze "recipe" and mixing and
storing glazes. We will learn about glazes and melting temperatures, make glaze record notebooks for you to keep,
make and code test tiles, and mix hundred gram test batches. The fired tests will be recorded and then glazes will be
layered for a second round of tests and line blends. In the final session, students will mix a gallon of glaze to take
home.
$50 covers instruction, glaze materials, firings, recipes, a notebook, and a gallon bucket of glaze.
