We are inviting you to our 15-hour workshop of collecting local materials and preparing glazes for ceramics, where we will discover the composition of glazes and develop our own glaze recipes through the understanding of the materials.
Day 1:
We will spend the first day searching for and collecting local clay and learning to identify local geology.
Day 2:
On our second day we will learn about basic elements that are typically found in glaze recipes, both commercial and those we can locally collect ourselves. This will give us a reference framework within which we can recognize their role in glazes and how they behave. We will continue by preparing materials for future testing and developing recipes, which means processing different clays and making primary tests.
Day 3:
We will begin by analysing fired primary tests. Based on them we will prepare secondary tests, for which we will learn about line blend technique.
Day 4:
On the fourth day we will again spend some time analyzing the tests from the previous day and then create more by using the triaxial blend technique.
Day 5:
On our last day we will reflect on best ways to finding and collecting local geology and learn how to read topographical and geological maps as our basic guides to determine where to find materials in nature. We will open the kiln and analyze final tests and suggest improvements. We will place all the collected tests together and discuss it at a round table, which will also allow for addressing final questions and unclarities.
The workshop is suitable for both beginner and advanced participants.

DIVJA GLAZURA
Vabimo vas na 15-urno delavnico nabiranja lokalnih materialov in priprave glazur, kjer bomo preko razumevanja materialov spoznavali sestave glazur in razvili lastne recepte.
Prvi dan:
Z delavnico bomo pričeli na terenu, kjer bomo iskali in nabirali materiale ter se naučili prepoznavati lokalno geologijo.
Drugi dan:
Drugi dan se bomo spoznali z množico osnovnih elementov, tako komercialnih, ki so tipični sestavni deli glazur, kot tudi z lokalno nabranimi in s tem pridobili referenčni okvir kako se eni in drugi obnašajo in kakšno vlogo igrajo v glazurah. Prav tako bomo pripravili materiale za nadaljno testiranje in razvijanje glazur, kar pomeni procesiranje izbranih glin in pripravo primarnih testov.
Tretji dan:
Najprej bomo nekaj časa namenili analizi odžganih primarnih testov. Na podlagi teh bomo nato pripravili sekundarne teste, za katere se bomo naučili tehnike linearnega mešanja dveh materialov.
Četrti dan:
Nekaj časa bomo ponovno namenili analizi testov in nato izdelali nove teste na podlagi tehnike triosnega mešanja z uporabo treh materialov.
Peti dan:
Zadnji dan bomo pričeli z branjem topografskih in geoloških kart kot osnovnimi smernicami za iskanje materialov v naravi. Odprli bomo peč, analizirali finalne teste in predlagali izboljšave. Vse pripravljene teste tekom delavnice bomo zbrali na kupu in se o njih pogovorili, kar bo omogočilo naslavljanje zadnjih vprašanj in nejasnosti.
Delavnica je primerna tako za začetnike kot tudi izkušene.
Datum
Vsak dan od 11. do 15. marca 2024, med 14. in 17. uro
Časovni obseg
5 dni po 3 ure, skupaj 15 ur
