In this workshop I will help you understand the process and technical issues so that you can start to have more success.
Some specific topics will include:
• Theory of crystallizations: How are they formed and at what temperatures
• Explanation of the different Frits: How they work and which are the best for crystalline glazes
• Oxidation firing schedules
• Catching excess running glaze by applying alumina to catchers
• Removing pieces from the kiln, separating them from the catcher and finishing them
• Tips and points to keep in mind to get the best results
• Typical errors and how to avoid them
and, of course, I will share many of my recipes such as Galaxy glazes and information about post reduction firings and using acids.
