Ash Glazes
A introductory four week course exploring the essentials of glaze chemistry and how to develop glazes using wood ash.
The course will run through every aspect of working with ash and it’s history and you will have developed your very own ash glaze and variants with a deeper understanding of how glaze development works! The course will also cover using ash glazes in oxidation i.e for electric kilns as well as ideas in regards to reduction firing and lowering the melting temperature of your glaze.
We’ll be looking at the new re-print of Phil Rogers seminal book on ash glazes as well as the work of Katherine Pleydell-Bouverie.
Week 1 - Material tests and glaze theory
Week 2 - Triaxial blend testing
Week 3 - Line blend testing
Week 4 - Results and discussion
