Crafting your own Glaze: A Simplified Approach – Level 1(December Weekend Batch)

This course is open to anyone who wants to learn the basics of crafting their own glaze recipes, regardless of their prior experience or background in ceramics.

Glaze is a glass coating on ceramics which adds beauty, increases durability and makes a product fit for functional use. It is a mixture of minerals when mixed in different amounts with different components gives variable results and hence glaze recipes have always fascinated artists and ceramists across the globe. 

Making one's own glaze recipes help an artist to gain material knowledge and create a range of glaze colors/textures which might not be available commercially, drastically decreasing their cost of production.

This course is designed to introduce the fundamentals of glaze making process in a much simpler and easier form with access to Claystation’s glaze materials, kiln and lab space for experiments

The course is spread across 5 days including 7 sessions (every session 3 hours each) which will cover:

1. Introduction components of glaze recipes
2. Introduction to glaze colorants

5. Practical knowledge of handling and mixing minerals while making glaze recipes.
6. Few Cone 6 test firings to understand the outcomes of their very own created glazes
