> at MISSA July 2-6

> Students will perform hands-on mixing and firing of simple line blends
> to learn how to achieve the glaze surfaces and colours they desire for
> sculpture or dinnerware. They will also learn about each ingredient
> and its function in the glaze as well as discover how varying the
> ratios of three major glaze components affects stability, color,
> firing temperature, glaze fit and
> glaze surface.
>
> Colour development as well as glossy, matte and textured surfaces will
> be explored. Glaze calculation software will be used by the instructor
> to show you how compare a variety of glazes.
>
> Cone 10 glaze recipes will be altered down to cone 6 and students will
> fire cone 6 line blends each night in an electric kiln so results can
> be discussed the next day. Students will leave the workshop organized
> and empowered to experiment at their own firing temperature.
