Glaze Basics: The
Ingredients
In this one day workshop students will learn what makes a glaze at any firing temperature. Via a PowerPoint lecture, Chic creates her color-coded chart of ingredients so you can see how varying the ratios of 3 major glaze components affects stability, color, firing temperature, glaze fit and glaze surface. Her chart shows the "big picture" of glaze ingredient relationships. Students will play several glaze games to reinforce learned concepts. Bring a recipe for analysis.
