We started with the basics, going through the history of quartz-ceramics, which includes the first discovery of glaze!
Our practical work included making egyptian paste (a self-glazing body), quartz-beads glazed in cementation powder in the Iranian Qom technique, as well as a throwable quartzpaste body (which is what i use in my own work).
It was a really great experience! The people we met were enthusiastic, friendly, extremely generous, hardworking and lovely. (If any of you are reading this, THANK YOU!)
