INTRO TO GLAZE CHEMISTRY
Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th of February - 11:00-17:00 - “Intro to Glaze Chemistry” - Taught by Lucia Ocejo
This course is an introduction to the building blocks of how and why glazes work. Within this 2 day course, the Saturday will be split into two labs, starting the morning with a first test the will aim to show the individual characteristics of the materials that make up our glazes and a second lab that shows the flux capacity and how we can manipular this. Tests will fire overnight and while the kiln cools on Sunday morning, we will review the technical information of our raw materials in a two hour powerpoint lecture.
Subjects that will be cover are an introduction to what are our raw ceramic materials, why and how glazes melt at different temperatures, colour manipulation in glaze chemistry and different glaze effects.
This is a beginners course, thus, no previous knowledge is required. Please keep in mind this course covers the technical side of glaze chemistry and the practical of how to mix glazes. Test tiles and raw materials will be supplied by the studio. At the end of the course each student will be keeping a selection of their our test tiles.
Each student is required to bring their OWN respirator or dust mask (failure to bring one, student won't be able to participate in lab activities due to health and safety). Raw glaze materials come in powdered form and can be hazardous when inhaled.
There will be a maximum of 10 people attending all classes.
All classes will take place in the pottery at: 11 Crown Works, Temple Street, London, E26QQ
Please make sure you can attend all dates, as it is not possible to swap your times with other classes we are putting on, or to makeup sessions on other times. This is part of our T&C’s to note before booking.
Upon booking a class you will receive a confirmation email. This email will say you will hear from us shortly, this actually means you will hear from us shortly before the course begins, normally a week or so in advance of your course start date. We note this as some classes are now ordered months in advance!
