February – An Inside Look at Reduction

An Inside Look At Reduction

February Session

This class will explore reduction firing and glazing. Students must be 18 years or older. Students will create their own pottery and forms and learn about glaze mixing and application for reduction. They will also learn about the safe operation of gas kilns. Enrolled students are welcome to bring in previously bisqued work made in a high-fire clay to class for glazing and firing.

This class includes glaze materials and the reduction firing, which will take place at Judy Madison’s studio on the last day of class. Bags of clay can be purchased for $25 each during class. A personal pack of beginner clay tools can be purchased for $20 during class, as studio tools are provided on a first come, first served basis.

The Reduction Class Open Studio takes place Saturdays from 9am-5pm for each week that classes are active. Students must sign up and pay for open studio before their first class takes place in order to attend. The Reduction Class Open Studio is only open to students that are concurrently taking the Inside Look At Reduction class.
