Join Jennifer Evans Arbo for a luster application workshop. Luster overglazes are made of actual gold which gives a fancy brilliance to the final finishes of your ceramic vase! Unleash a new level of brilliance in your ceramic creations with our specialized workshop on applying ceramic luster over finished glazes.
This one-day workshop will focus on overglaze luster techniques. How to prepare your glazed ceramics for luster application, applying luster and overglaze decals and safety measures (gloves and masks) will be used to apply the luster. This hands-on class is designed for ceramic artists who wish to enhance their work with the radiant, metallic finish that only lusters can provide.
Students will bring 4-6 pieces of finished pieces fired to cone 6 or cone 10. All pieces should have been made by the student, no commercial ceramic ware will be accepted.
