Crystalline Glazes with Ian Childers

850 Pico Blvd, Santa Monica, CA 90405

This is a two-day workshop meeting on:

Saturday, August 8th: 10:00am-4pm
Sunday, August 9th: 10:00am-4pm

Day One: Ian will begin with an introductory conversation about crystalline glazes. Each participant will be provided a handout with recipes and basic info. Glaze prepping will take place and participants will glaze provided bisque ware with the crystalline glazes. Ian will also demo throwing specific forms and lecture on throwing specifically for crystalline glaze firings.

Day Two: Additional throwing and trimming demos will take place, as well as discussing glaze catchers for the pots as well. The crystalline glaze firings from the previous day will be unloaded from the kiln. The rest of the day will be removing the glaze pedestals, sanding, finishing wares, and acid etching.

Please note that due to the condensed nature of this workshop, in order for the pieces to be removed from the crystalline kiln post-firing and be available for sanding and acid etching within the same day, we may unload the kiln at a higher temperature per the artist's recommendations.
