Natural glazes
4 week course
Starting Saturday 10th
10am - 12.30 each week
Highgate, London N16
At @claytimecic studio
This course will give an overview of basic glaze theory to help you understand the testing results.
We will make test tiles, get messy processing plant ashes and clay, and blend these materials in a range of tests. You will see how the materials react and what results we can get from natural ingredients before choosing a final glaze to use.
This is an experimental course all about testing and hands-on learning any results will come from your own material combinations.
We hope this will be the first step in your learning more about glazes and how to include natural materials.
No knowledge of glaze chemistry is required, as you'll learn some basic principles as part of the course
