Descriptions:
Follow along with Rose Katz of Ceramic Materials Workshop as she shows you how to make your own test batch of ceramic glaze! It’s easier than you might think.
Ceramic Materials Workshop is a place online to understand and explore how and why our Clay and Glazes work (and don’t work). Our materials speak for us in the home and gallery. It benefits us to learn about how to speak through our materials. Mastering the skills of clay and glaze performance helps every ceramicist, become their best self in the studio.
Ceramicists at all levels can now learn how Clay and Glazes function with us online. Check out all of our resources on our website at https://ceramicmaterialsworkshop.com
