Explore techniques for glaze application through dipping
This workshop, held at the Appalachian Center for Craft from July21 through July 23, explored techniques for glaze application through dipping, pouring, resists, nozzling and sponging. The demonstrations covered glazing for inside walls of bowls, flat plates and outside surfaces of taller forms. Discussions of glaze qualities, such as fluidity, viscosity, transparency, and opacity, were incorporated into discussions of form. Students brought their own bisqued ware and explored the various techniques demonstrated. Several firings were done during the weekend and the results got better and better.
