Clay Center of New Orleans Classes & Workshops

Are you getting the hang of making things in clay but still often disappointed with your glazing results? This is the workshop for you!

Clay Center founder and former Tulane ceramics professor Michelle Swafford will explain the fundamentals of glazes and glazing, and will demonstrate specific techniques that you can use to improve your glaze results immediately.

Students are welcome bring up to 4 pieces to glaze at the end of this workshop if desired. Pieces must be bisque fired prior to the workshop, whether at the Clay Center or at another studio. (No kiln access? Check out our drop-off firing service!)
