glaze making and mixing workshop

Unlock the alchemy of glaze creation in this immersive, hands-on workshop dedicated to the art and science of ceramic glazing. Participants will learn how raw materials come together to create color, texture, and surface effects—transforming clay into expressive, finished works. Through guided experimentation, you’ll mix, test, and apply your own glazes while deepening your understanding of glaze chemistry and material behavior.

key learning objectives:
Understand the fundamental components of glazes: fluxes, silica, and alumina
Learn how to read and formulate glaze recipes
Gain practical experience in weighing, mixing, sieving, and applying glazes
Explore the role of oxides, stains, and firing atmospheres in color development
Experiment with layering, texture, and surface combinations to achieve unique results

what to expect:
Step-by-step demonstrations on glaze formulation and preparation
Guided practice in mixing and applying test batches
Access to raw materials and base recipes for experimentation
Firing of test tiles to observe color and surface variations
A technical yet creative environment encouraging both scientific curiosity and artistic discovery
