This class will be primarily focusing on surface decoration and glaze application techniques, with some supplementary use of various oxides and underglaze. Please note this is a glaze application class, we will not be creating new glazes or dry mixing materials

For the first lesson, students will be taught how to produce and refine test tiles of various types in order to prepare material for the later lessons. As well as deciding on what the focus of their experimentation will be (choosing a glaze or glazes to primarily work with, as well as supplemental material in underglazes or oxides.) 

For the remaining lessons, students will be meeting and showing the results of their glaze use and exploration either on full works or test tiles. Ideally on both.

It is highly recommended that students who take this class be fully self sufficient at all basic wedging/centering, throwing/shaping and trimming skills. These skills will not be covered in the curriculum, but students will have access to class clay and materials for production of work and test tiles. It is ideal to come to this class with bisqueware pieces ready for use, but not required.
