Clay in the Classroom Part II
Glazing and Clay Coloring Techniques
Purpose: This professional development workshop will afford art educators the opportunity to learn about and experiment with different ways to glaze and color clay projects. The main objective of this workshop is to help teachers develop glazing and clay coloring skills that they can use with students in their classrooms. Teachers will choose the clay coloring methods they want to use to color the bisque pieces they made in Part I.* This workshop was designed at the request of participants of Clay in the Classroom Part I. They felt they needed some in-depth time using glaze and materials to color clay bisque.
