Midrange Pots With Electric Color (C0506)
| Full Course Title | Midrange Pots with Electric Color (C0506) |
| Dates | Jul 05, 2010 - Jul 16, 2010 |
| Concept | Learn strategies and techniques for working on the potter's wheel in this hands-on workshop. Express your personal vision with an assortment of methods Frank has developed for making wheel-thrown and altered pottery for the electric kiln. The glaze lab is integral to the process as we aim to get the most color from commercial ceramic stains and traditional oxides for midrange (cone 4-7) oxidation. We test a full range of glaze and under-glaze formulas in the electric firing process. |
| Media & Techniques | We use cone 4-7 clay and glazes in a variety of electric kiln firing techniques. Frank will introduce GlazeChem 1.2, a glaze database, analysis and calculation program to adjust glaze surface texture and temperature. |
| Activities | Daily activities include morning and afternoon demonstrations, slide shows and one-on-one instruction. |
