The Great Glaze Experiment: Make Test Tiles, Not Just Guesses
Welcome to the class where your inner glaze nerd gets to shine and your future pots get way better looking.
Over four weeks, you’ll make your own test tiles (the good, the weird, and the wildly useful), try wild combos with commercial glazes, and learn how to actually keep track of what worked. No more “what did I put on this again?” vibes.
Here’s how the magic happens:
-
Week 1: Make your testers. We'll use your leftover fails, and also plan it out. It all counts.
-
Week 2: Choose your glaze combos and underglaze options, and start plotting like a scientist. You’ll get a Fort Wayne Clay sketchbook to log everything like the organized creative you’ve always aspired to be.
-
Week 3: Time to glaze! You’ll keep layering, brushing, dipping, and maybe even toss in a transfer or two if you’re feeling bold. Bring the clay body you want to test on—this is your lab, after all.
-
Week 4: Glaze Geek-Out. Fired results in hand, we’ll compare notes, spot happy accidents, and brainstorm your next glaze adventure. Squeals of delight are totally acceptable.
- All decorating tools provided—brushes, pencils, fancy tips, you name it.
- You’ll bring the clay for your testers (whatever color you want to explore).
- You get your own FWC sketchbook. Because you’re a glaze scientist now.
Small classes. Supportive community. Ridiculously satisfying results.
