The Middle Glazes: The Story of Mid-Temperature Glazes - Virtual Workshop
Flower City Arts Center is excited to partner with Rose and Matt Katz of Ceramic Materials Workshop to offer "The Middle Glazes" workshop for a discounted price of $60 (this online class typically retails for $100)! Please note that this special offer is only available for FCAC's members, studio artists, staff, students, teachers and artists-in-residence.
Enrollment for this workshop is open now through May 22. Participating students will receive all "The Middle Glazes" lectures via email after May 22.
The Middle Glazes is a comprehensive, 54 part study into Mid-Temperature glazes, and includes over 10 hours of video lectures. 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 topic explored include:
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 more!
