If you’re curious to see what your work will look like with big glorious crystals, here’s your chance.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003eIn this workshop you get a basic intro to what crystalline glazes are, a bit about the ideal firing atmosphere and support while glazing your own pieces.

We will communicate with you if you are unsure on how to make one. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter your pieces are out of the kiln, each piece will require grinding the bottom. The better your catcher fits, the less grinding you will have to do.
