Crafting Color with Adrienne Eliades Nov 7th & 8th 10am - 5pm

Is getting the glaze color you want always a challenge? Working with underglaze and stains we will learn to embrace vibrant color on clay work. We will explore expanding the commercial underglaze palette to create tints, shades and custom colors. Additionally, we will investigate ways to pigment clay bodies and glaze with commercial stains for a greater range of color and success in testing. From mixing to application, this workshop will provide a guide to gaining ceramic color control. This course is open to all skill levels. Hand-builders and wheel throwers are welcome. *Students should be prepared to take home leather hard work or pick up bisque fired work at a later date. Students should also bring bone dry pieces/test tiles for terra Sig and bisque test tiles for underglaze color tests. We will work at cone 6.
