The first part of the workshop will consist of lectures on the history, processing, and the eventual demise of commercially available Albany slip clay. Students can bring their fired Albany slip samples for evaluation. Alternate Albany slip glaze formulas will be discussed with the inclusion of Albany slip substitutes. During the second part of the workshop, we will discuss Cone 6 electric kiln firing clay body and glazes. Glaze samples will be demonstrated with accompanying formulas. Cone 6 raw materials will be reviewed along with choosing the appropriate clay body formulas for sculptural and functional pottery. Kiln firing cycles for bisque and Cone 6 will be reviewed in detail.
