Glaze Workshop For Members
In this workshop, our amazing instructor Julia will help you better understand and strengthen your glazing practice. All skill levels are welcome!
The first hour will be focused around the basics of glazing and Julia will explain different glazing techniques, components, and the overall process of glazing. The second hour will be dedicated to answering any questions you may have as well as analyzing pieces together.
Please feel free to bring some of your own biqsued pieces to glaze on site, or pieces that have already been glazed, and you'd like to analyze the results.
