  • This class is mandatory for beginner potters that have not taken a 4-week course at ACH. It's also open to all potters wanting to learn about or need a refresher on the glazing process. If you have little to no glazing experience, or if you continue to face glazing challenges like running, this class is perfect for you!

    Please note, this 18+ class is designed to review the basic processes of glazing, not the in-depth chemistry + materials of glazes.

     

    In this 2-hour class, we'll discuss and review:

    • The purpose of glazing + how it works
    • Importance of properly bisqued pieces
    • Test tiles + how to develop a testing process
    • The purpose of resists + how to use them
    • Glazing challenges + how to avoid issues during the glaze firing
    • Glazing demo + practice
      • Practice participation not mandatory, but to participate in the activity portion of class, please bring at least 1 bisqued pot

     

    Registration for this course includes:

    • Glaze + firing costs for up to 3 wares (wares not included; student must bring bisqueware if they want to glaze pieces)
    • Use of class brushes + community glazing tools

     

    In preparation for this class, please:

    • Bring an apron or wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty
    • Ensure you wear short sleeves or sleeves that can easily tuck back and not get in the way
    • Bring bisqueware if you would like to participate in the practice / activity portion of class (not mandatory)

     

    Finished pieces will be available 2 weeks from class and will be held for 2 weeks. Abandoned works will be discarded due to limited storage space. Thanks for understanding!
