March 1 & 15- Artist Talk and Workshop

Do you panic when you step into the glaze room? Are you afraid to experiment beyond the single dip method of glazing? This focused mini course can help! In this hands on workshop we’ll explore a range of glazing techniques based on building
layers, including: slipwork, brushing, wax resist, stencils and trailing. We’ll work through a quick round of information gathering and glazing small test pieces.

Colleen Riley will lead this afternoon workshop on 1 pm - 4 pm on March 1st. Participants will have the opportunity to try different glazing techniques on bisqued cup forms and/or tiles.  Pieces will be fired at Maine Prairie Studio. In a follow-up zoom session on March 15th, we’ll analyze our results from the cone 10 firing.
