Join Ruth Easterbrook for a deep dive glazing workshop. Strengthen your approach to glazing basics and gain insight into new ways to use careful planning to create a unique glazed surface. During this five day workshop, you will learn from in-depth demonstrations, hands-on practice and slideshows a range of new technique you can apply to your own work at any temperature. Bring 3-6 pieces of your bisqueware to practice on and your notebook to take notes as Ruth will share many inspiring new ways of thinking about the glazing process including layering, masking and inlaying.
What We will Cover:
· Deepening our understanding of the different qualities of glaze and how we can use them
· Problem solving some of the foundational glazing mistakes and how we can avoid them
· How we can use our studio materials, such as underglaze in new ways
· Mapping glazes using tape and wax to plan out our designs
· Inlaying glaze and other options to create complex and exciting glazed surfaces at any temperature and in any firing technique
