A sample lesson of The Middle Glazes online glaze chemistry workshop.
The Middle Glazes is a comprehensive, 54-part study into Mid-Temperature glazes. Also known as Cone 6 or Cone 5-6, these glazes are one of the most popular firing temperatures in ceramics. They can be beautiful, enticing, engaging and incredibly frustrating. In this workshop we will explore in depth, what we know to make the most out of Mid-Temperature glazes.
We will take the mystery of materials, formulas and firings and translate them for real working artists. Some of the topics we will explore: What is a glaze?, What is Cone 6?, Chemistry basics, Glaze chemistry, Materials, Understanding glaze formulas, Understanding cone 6 formulas, How temperature works, Glaze mapping (prediction), Matte glazes and fake matte, Glaze durability, Converting Cone 10 glazes, Effects, Identifying Cone 6 glazes, Altering glazes, Problems with Cone 6, and even more! Join us and we will change your work, forever.
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.
