The Lustre Glaze Workshop is limited to ten participants. As the studio is set up for one person, we arrange the glazing area outside under tents. It is so nice to work outside and be surrounded by the incredible view.
Beatrice always used her own red clay, which was formulated, for her low-fire work, but any clay and color will work well, given that the glazes are somewhat influenced by the texture and color.
For the workshop we recommend that you bring 4 or 5 bisqued pieces, none larger that 10" tall, or 6" wide.
We will cover all the basics of creating luster glazes and how the colorants and other ingredients affect the outcome. There will be a folder for each participant with reference material, glaze information, bibliography etc. If you've had some experience with making glazes, it will add pieces to the unending puzzle of glaze making. If you are a beginner, you will have the tools you need to go forward. We'll be firing in gas and electric kilns, so you'll be able to learn that part of the luster process, too. Participants will enjoy continental breakfasts and delightful vegetarian lunches on Beatrice’s patio and be given information regarding accomidations in Ojai.
The cost for the workshop is $550 to $650 depending on enrollment. A $300 deposit is required. If you must cancel up until 30 days before the workshop we will issue you a refund – less a $50 administration fee. Canceling within 30 days may mean that you forfeit the deposit if we are unable to fill your space. We reserve the right to cancel this workshop if the minimum has not been met.
