This useful, practical and interesting course is designed to give you an introduction to the subject of glaze technology and glaze chemistry. By the end of the course you will be able to make simple glazes yourself and have an understanding of basic glaze materials and their uses. The Tutor Emma Johnstone has been teaching ceramics at RACC since 1999, but specialises in teaching throwing. She has exhibited widely throughout the UK, as well as Europe, and the Middle East, and her work has been published in numerous Ceramics books. She is a professional member of the Craft Potters Association. Emma combines teaching with making her own work for interior designers, galleries throughout the UK and commissions for private clients. - This is a practical course in which you will be required to undertake a series of experiments, which will help you to understand the basics of glaze technology and thus help increase your overall knowledge of ceramics. - Through experimentation, you will learn how to make basic glazes and recognise the differences between different base materials. - By the end of the course you will have built up group of practical experiments that can be used to enhance your application of glazes. - There will be a charge for clay to cover the cost of glazes and firings - We strongly recommend that learners wear non slip, closed footwear in the pottery area as there is often a lot of dust created and the floors may become slippery when wet if there are spillages
