This is an advanced class that covers the basics of glaze formulation and mixing of glazes from raw materials. Some study of ceramic chemistry involved leading to a much higher understanding of the minerals used and characteristics and limitations of the ceramic media... including the kiln atmosphere and how it effects the glazes. Also covered is understanding why glazes are the way they are and how to change the characteristics of glazes including getting a good fit to a particular clay body. Students are expected to make pots during the course and use some of them for testing as well as making test tiles. Students can be asked to mix production glazes for experience.
