Natural Glazing Masterclass

 Experimental practice & material research  — CLAY LAB #2 

SATURDAY 25TH JULY // 3-7PM

 

Traditionally ceramic objects were created & glazed with only natural components: wood ashes, rocks reach, minerals, mud & natural pigments. We invite you to rediscover the diverse pallet of colors and materials that nature has to offer.

This CLAY LAB  is our signature Workshop as it's a full on immersion into artistic practice of our studio founder and studio mentors, who have been working with natural materials for glazes since 10 years, conducting research around the world and numerous studio experiments. 

Together with Viviane & Blanca, you will dive into the history of natural glazes, go through the essential basics of glaze chemistry in a hands-on way and explore the endless possibilities of embodying natural components in your creative practice. You will learn how different minerals modify in the fire and how to work along with this transition.

You will learn the oldest traditional recipes and ways to transform them into endless glaze possibilities. All the participants will be invited to the "Glaze Buffet", where over a dozen of natural glaze components line up awaiting for your hands to do the magic of creating your own mixture.

Exploring glazes by the power of intuition and empirical research is the motto of this course. 

Important

The course is accessible for absolute beginners to glazing and ceramics. Since it's presenting a different approach, no prior knowledge of glaze mixing is required.
