This 1.5 hour workshop is a great opportunity to create a specialty finish for your already bisque-fired piece without having to source materials or firing services. I'll introduce you to glazing techniques and guide you through successfully glazing your piece.
During this 1.5 hour workshop we'll explore:
  • what a glaze is, and how they're made
  • how to prepare your work for glazing
  • how to choose a glaze
  • the range of glazing techniques — brushing, dipping, painting and pouring
  • how to use underglaze and/or glaze decorate your piece
  • finishing and refining your glaze coverage
The piece you'd like to glaze in this workshop will need to be bisque-fired before you can glaze it. Bisque-firing is the low-temperature firing that stabilises a piece for safe handling and decoration/glazing before the final glaze-firing at a higher temperature.
Be sure to know which type of clay you have used so we can match it to the correct glaze. It will need to be made from mid-fire, stoneware or porcelain clay. I don't usually fire earthenware — but we can discuss how that might work.
If you don't have a bisque-fired piece, I have pieces available for purchase. Prices range from $30 — $120. You're welcome to bring your own mid-fire or stoneware glazes.
This workshop includes glazes and firing of a small to medium size piece — up to 150 x 100 x 100mm. If you have larger or multiple pieces there's an additional glaze and firing cost — up to $15 for glaze and glaze-firing an additional ceramic piece, and $15 to $25 for larger ceramic pieces, depending on size.
Underglaze, glazes, brushes, tools and glaze-firing 1 piece after the workshop are included. Your ceramic work will be ready to collect 2 weeks after the workshop.
What to bring
  • your bisque-fired piece, ready for glazing — or you can purchase one in the workshop
  • an apron and gloves if you have sensitive skin
  • any extra glaze you might like
