Congratulations on joining Clayfolk’s Glaze Daze class!
In this session, Ryusuke Konishi and Scott Nickel are teaming up to teach you how to refine your glazing techniques. In this deep dive focused solely on glazing, you will explore ways to imagine ahead of time how glaze will be affected by the size and shape of your wares, how to dip and layer with more precision, and get direct feedback on your results from our seasoned teachers. By the end of the class, you will feel more confident and intentional in your glaze practice, on your way to becoming a glaze wizard. Stay tuned for additional glaze courses coming to continue expanding on the skills you will learn in this session.

FAQ:
Q: Will these sessions build on one another (step 1, step 2) or are they a replica of each other?
A: They are a replica, meaning the teachers will be covering the same material. This said, inevitably there will be new information gained for those who chose to take BOTH sessions.
Q: Can I make up a class?
A: Unfortunately not, we recommend trying to make it to each class, but you do have open studio time the rest of the week to come and play.
Q: When are Open Studio Hours?
A: Student Open Studio Hours are: Thursday-Monday 12 PM-7 PM). Hours are subject to change during workshop days, but 7 days notice will be given to students.
Q: What’s the age limit for the class?
A: 16. Anyone 16 or older may be present without a guardian as long as their guardian has signed the student agreement for them.
Q: Can I bring my child?
A: Sadly not to the class. This said we welcome kids during open studio hours - parents can simply pay a child day pass fee ($15) for their child and come and go from the studio for the duration of that day.
Q: What if I, another student or the teacher test positive for COVID?
A:
If you test positive, we apologize but there is no refund or class make up session we can offer.
If another student tests positive and let’s us know, we will inform the class and it will be up to you to decide whether you feel comfortable returning.
If one of our teachers tests positive and needs to cancel class 1 or 2 times we will refund you a proportionate amount ($30 per class). If further sessions must be cancelled we will offer you credit towards another class session.
