SPECIAL EFFECTS GLAZES
Workshop Outline:
Both crystalline and low temperature reduction glazes will be covered in this intensive hands-on course. First developed in Europe in the late 1800s, crystalline glazes, with their delicate, lacy, spontaneous patterns have gained a growing interest in recent years. This course will explore various crystalline glazes at cone 10 and cone 6, glaze composition, techniques for runny glazes, firing schedules, form, and aesthetics. This course will also explore cone 01 reduction fired lustre glazes. Fuel economy is one good reason to look at low temperature gas firing, but this process also gives some of the depth and subtlety of high fire reduction with unique colours and lustrous surfaces.
