Glazing Day Untutored

About this course

This session gives learners time to glaze and finish existing ceramic pieces in the ceramics studio. It is untutored, so participants work independently on their own projects and apply glazing techniques in practice, with technician assistance available when needed. The focus is on refining unfinished work and completing final surface treatments rather than introducing glazing from the beginning. Learners use the session to consolidate their existing ceramics skills while working at their own pace.

What you'll learn

• Apply glazing techniques to existing ceramic pieces.
• Refine unfinished ceramics through final glazing and finishing work.
• Work independently on a ceramics project while using technician guidance when required.

Is this course right for you?

The course is intended for improver-level learners with previous experience in the provider’s ceramics studio. Participants need to have completed at least one term-long ceramics course with the provider and feel comfortable using the glaze room without tuition. The format suits learners who can manage their own project, with technician support available rather than formal teaching.

• Previous experience in the provider’s ceramics studio is required.
• The session has no formal assessment.
• Learners are expected to work independently rather than follow taught instruction.

Before you go

• Food and drink are not permitted in the studio; a nearby hub area is available for snacks and drinks.
• Learners should allow 15 minutes at the end to tidy the studio.
