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.
