This class is about glaze and how to get the results you want. We will use test tiles to test glaze combinations, investigate different techniques for applying glaze, fire pieces in oxidation and reduction, and create and mix new glazes. Students need to bring some bisque ware (cone 6 and cone 10) for this class.

Join us for an artist talk with Kelly Odden. 

One of the many questions we have with clay in a workshop environment is, how do I finish this piece? With functional pottery, there is a wide variety of glazes that are beautiful, as well as functional. In the world of sculpture, we have the option to use finishes from other art mediums and apply them onto our pieces. In this workshop, we will play and explore with a wide variety of finishes – from pastels to powdered graphite to acrylic paints and so many things in between!
