Gold Luster
Pump up the "WOW!" factor for your pottery with a little gold. Learn how to safely apply luster to your pottery. Bring 3-5 small finished glazed pots. The final look of your luster will be determined by the glaze you use. Matte glazes will give you a matte luster and glossy glazes will make the luster shiny. This will work on Mid or High fire glazed pottery. Gold Luster kits are not included. Kits are available for purchase through the BHC store. Requirements: 3-5 Small finished, glaze fired, pots, must bring your own luster Teacher: Tasha Date: Monday, May 4th Time: 6:30 - 8:30pm Cost: Member: Free - Non-Member: Workshop open to members only |

"Instant Luster" (Cold-Finish Metallizer)
In this workshop we will go over the best application and firing practices for using a cold-finish metallizer liquid. This liquid, when properly applied to finished glaze surfaces, will result in a mirror-like chrome finish. Very similar to gold luster but doesn't require the kiln to finish your piece. Items treated with this liquid are not food safe. Requirements: Students can bring 2 - 3 finished glaze fired pieces, larger pieces will be limited to 'accent' applications only. Teacher: Cecelia Date: Saturday, May 16th Time: 12 - 2pm Cost: Member: $25 - Non-Member: Workshop open to members only |
