Instructor: Austyn Taylor

January 8–February 12, 2020 (Wednesdays, 10am–12pm)

This class is designed to demystify glazes in order to expand creative freedom and foster more curiosity and excitement in the glazing process. This six-week course will start with basic glaze chemistry and material science including basic techniques for testing new glazes. From there students will be taught how to mix their own glazes following a recipe and how to approach developing their own glaze. We will also experiment with creating new glazes by mixing existing glazes together and adding new materials to commercial glazes to create unique surfaces. This class will have a small “homework” research component. There will be open studio availability on Sundays, 11am to 1pm.
