In this 3 hour luster workshop students will learn the basics of applying Gold, Silver, and Mother-of-Pearl lusters to bring a magical sparkle and luscious shine to their finished pieces. The focus will be on application techniques, design considerations, and placement options based on form and decoration. Discussions will include, safety, surface finishes, application, brushes and cleaning methods, as well as a brief discussion of firing process.
Each student should bring 3-5 glazed finished works or 6-10 ceramic jewelry pieces (Cone 6-10) to test application techniques and placement on. Glossy surfaces will yield shiny results, while matte or raw clay surfaces will yield a more subtle dull matte finish. Mother-of-pearl is best applied over glossy glaze surfaces.
This workshop will be held outdoors. but students will be required to wear a respirator.
