Program:

The workshop will take place on 2 and 9 October, each time from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm

What is covered in the introduction to glazes:

Did you find a glaze recipe somewhere in a book or one online or did you get a recipe somewhere? Do you still feel too insecure to get started?

In the introduction to glazes, we already take you a long way into the glaze world.

We constantly alternate theory and practice on the basis of a number of themes.

• theme 1: What is a glaze? & About stabilizers, glass formers and melters.
• theme 2:  Which raw materials & What do we all need in a glaze factory?
• theme 3: Oxides as dyes and opacifiers.
• theme 4: Mixing methods
• theme 5: What do we learn after hours of mixing? Discuss the tests.
• theme 6: Where can I find good recipes (online)? How do I read and interpret them?
