Underglazes and Overglazes Workshop Sat., June 20, 2026 2:30 pm-5:30 pm
NOTE: You will not get to walk away with a finished piece the day of the workshop. Pieces will be fired after the workshop and will be available for pickup at our studio within 2 weeks. Pieces can be delivered for a fee.
During this three-hour workshop, participants will learn the differences between underglazes and overglaze, when to use each, and how to fire them. We will explore underglaze brands, underglaze transfers, overglaze types, and overglaze transfers. The class comes with access to underglazes, underglaze transfer samples for practice and each participant will get to choose one single color transfer. Additional transfers and multicolor transfers will are available for purchase ($7-12 each sheet). For overglazes, participants will get to practice with mother-of-pearl luster. Due to the cost of gold luster, use of these will only be demonstrated. If you would like to use gold, please contact us to go over how to purchase your own bottle. Overglaze transfers are available for purchase ($8-18).
You can bring 2 bisqued pieces for underglaze work and one plain glazed piece (e.g. glazed in one single color) for overglaze. We do ask that they do not exceed 6″ in diameter and 10″ in height. If you do not have any pieces for this session, premade items are available for purchase ($5-10 per piece).
