1 Day Workshops
Join Andy in his studio for a crystalline glaze crash course. Go from beginner to expert while glazing some of your own beautiful pots!
Workshop Overview.
This workshop will allow participants to get hands-on experience with crystalline glazes. There will be instruction on standard application techniques as well as advanced details. Great for potters looking to build their technical understanding of these unique glazes.
Topics will include bruhing, dipping, surface area calculations, mixing recipes, insights on individual materials, food safety, acid etching, reduction and how to fire without glaze catchers. This is the same material Andy has presented at Art Centers, Colleges and large stages like ClayShare and the NCECA Conference.
The Details:
Schedule of the workshop:
10:00 am: Workshop begins with a brief start to the glazing process and then Andy provides a lecture.
1:00 pm: Break for 30 minutes. (There are good lunch options in walking distance).

What to bring:
Participants will be allowed to bring 3-5 bisque pieces. Each must have an accomodating glaze catcher. Including the glaze catchers, each participants body of work should not exceed 500 Square Inches. (Think of 2 Vases and 3 mugs fitting into a 9×9×9 box). Porcelain is highly recommended and must be rated for Cone 10. We recommend the 257 Grolleg Porcelain from Standard.
Completed work and shipping:
After the workshop, we will fire the work. It will be available for pick up within 7-10 business days. If acid etching or shipment of completed work is required we must be notified at the time of sign up so that proper arrangements can be made. Participants are required to cover all shipping costs.
