Luster Workshop

Spring Workshop | Available

Experiment in the exciting world of low fire glazes. Luster glazes go back 1000 years. They have the ability to trap and reflect light in golds, reds and a rainbow of colors creating magnificent beauty. This ancient art is closely connected with alchemy and the art of turning copper into gold. It can provide bold intense metallic colors and beautiful translucent watercolor effects. Come experiment with these low fire glazes and experience their surprising results.
