The Magic of Crystalline Glazes Tuscany Style
September 11-18, 2010 — Come join us in the hills of beautiful Tuscany at the ceramic school "La Meridiana". Explore handbuilt or wheel-thrown ceramic forms using a porcelain clay body while learning to create a surface receptive to Crystal Glazes. Crystalline glazes have a magical quality. The slightest movement causes light to dance across the surface, revealing layered depths of color and texture in a constantly changing rhythm. The challenge and fascination of this glazing technique is to recreate the process of crystalization that in nature can take thousands of years. Our instructor will also invite us to create unique ceramic jewelry applying this special glaze technique. Students will share housing in the beautiful setting of a traditional Italian villa "Il Testimonio". Visit website
