Ceramic Materials Workshop - Matt Katz Ceramic Materials Education

Advancing Glazes

Advancing Glazes
The ceramic artist strives to create glaze surfaces that, as a component of concept and content, enhance form through texture and color. The beauty of ceramic glazes comes from subtle nuances of chemistry. The intermingling of silicate bonds, crystallization, and kiln atmospheres dictate the qualities of the glaze. A fundamental understanding of the principles and properties involved in glaze science is essential if the ceramic artist can exert any control in the successful outcome of the work.
 
Advancing Glazes will take an intensive approach to the study and analysis of glazes. Students will research the nature of glaze effects, surfaces, and colors. The focus of the course is to provide students with technical and empirical knowledge about the composition, application and fired effects of ceramic glazes and ultimately, to aid them in making better-informed decisions as they strive to realize their vision.

We require students take the full class of Understanding Glazes Online to establish the foundational information used extensively in Advancing Glazes class.  The concepts in Understanding Glazes Online are paramount and are built upon in Advancing Glazes and are key in excelling in our Advancing Glazes class.

These past few years of exploring glazes felt like wondering around a strange city without a map. I bought glaze books that offered some great recipes, but I felt I was just sightseeing. Through thousands of tests, I gradually became familiar with various neighborhoods like Celadon and Iron Red. But what I really needed was a vantage point from which I could see where I was and how the various regions related to one another. Of course such a "map" already exists- UMF and the Si/Al Stull Chart. While there are many books and websites that explain how the basics of UMF, the explanations are often dry and technical. It wasn't until I listened to Matt's lectures and talks that I began to truly understand things. I now have a "map", and my glazes have vastly improved.
