This one-day course provides a practical introduction to ceramic glazes, covering their composition, preparation, application, and firing behaviour. Participants will explore the key types of glazes, raw materials, and formulation principles, gaining an understanding of how glaze composition influences surface finish, performance, and processability. The course includes a hands-on practical session, where participants will prepare glazes, adjust their properties, and apply them using industry-relevant techniques such as dipping and spraying. The session concludes with an overview of the firing process and how it affects final glaze outcomes.
