In this lecture-style class, dive into the fascinating world of glaze chemistry, learning how different ingredients interact to create stunning surface effects.

Whether you're looking to better understand commercial glazes or mix your own from scratch, this class will give you the knowledge and confidence to experiment with color, texture, and layering.   
We'll start with the fundamentals of glaze calculation before exploring the safest and most effective ways to test both commercial and homemade glazes in our studio. You'll learn about the essential components of glaze chemistry, including colorants, fluxes, and other key variables that affect the final result. This class is a requirement for any member wishing to use outside glazes in the studio. 

Learning Objectives: 

  • Learn the basic chemical makeup of glazes.
  • Learn about colorants, fluxes, and other variables in glaze chemistry.
  • Learn how to safely and effectively layer and combine glazes.
  • Learn how to safely and effectively test glazes.
  • Pass the Glaze Chemistry Assessment at the Innovation Hub so you can use glazes independently at the Hub.
