Two day workshop exploring the topics of glaze chemistry, geology, materials and glaze testing. Participants will learn about finding local stones and clays suitable for use as either body or glaze materials, process them into a usable form, and develop testing practices to develop glazes and clay bodies. Each participant will finish the workshop with up to twelve test tiles, glazed in their own blends of local and studio materials.

Saturday will focus on teaching and discussion on local geology, cursory glaze chemistry, classes of materials both commercial and wild, processing methods, and testing schemes.  Sunday is dedicated to further discussion on testing schemes and then turning the students loose to develop their own blends of glazes and/or clay bodies.
