Once Ain't Enough (C0507)
| Full Course Title | Once Ain't Enough: a focus on glazing (C0507) |
| Dates | Jul 05, 2010 - Jul 09, 2010 |
| Concept | Glaze can make a piece look wonderful or it can totally ruin it. This workshop expands our understanding of this exciting and seductive material through multiple firings, glaze combos, under- and over-firing glazes and added materials. We work with low-fire clay and commercial glazes, beginning with test tiles and then applying our new techniques to student-produced pieces. We focus on sculptural pieces not to be used with food. |
| Media & Techniques | We use low-fire clay and various commercial low-fire glazes applied with hand painting. You may use any building technique you wish to make your pieces. |
| Activities | Mornings are spent working on glaze experiments with examples from the work of the instructor and other artists. Afternoons provide time to work independently on building ceramic pieces to be glazed with some of your experimental successes. The instructor will allot time with each student to critique work and discuss topics of interest. |
| Notes | Please bring 3 to 5 bisqued pieces, no larger than 12 inches in any direction. The class will be working in white earthenware, but the pieces can be earthenware or stoneware, as long as they are bisqued to cone 06. |
