Developed in the Middle East during the 19th century and made famous by Italian artisans, majolica earthenware pottery with a white opaque glaze decorated with ceramic colorants brushed on top of the raw, unfired glaze. The glaze is formulated to be viscous which restricts the flow and movement of the glaze retaining most of the line quality of the decoration. In this class we will examine historical aspects, design of majolica and explore the process using commercial glazes and majolica colors making the techniques easy to use. Formulas for mixing your own majolica glazes/colors will be provided & discussed. If you like color and painting designs on pottery, this class is for you. Students pay glaze and color fee of $45 at the first class to the instructor. This class does not qualify for a studio card. Pre-requisite: Beginning pottery class at Sertoma or Pullen Art Centers.
