In this class, with the help of experienced ceramicist Peter Jones, you will learn how to make your own glazes and apply them to fired clay.
You will understand the difference between glossy, satin and dry glazes, onglaze and underglaze and how to choose and apply the glaze from dipping and pouring to spraying. You will also learn how to avoid common glaze problems and start imagining new stunning designs.
