STILL ROOM FOR A FEW MORE!
Discover the intersection of sustainability, building a green studio,
and lowering the cost of glazing!
Sustainable Ceramic Glazing
A weekend WORKSHOP, November 15th-18th
If you are a ceramic artist or hobbyist dealing with glazes, you'll want to take this groundbreaking workshop. Please join Mary Cay, a SUNY Alfred trained glaze chemist now living in Aurora, CO, at the Taos Ceramics Center to explore the creating of beautiful glazes from left-over glazing sessions, unused studio glazes, and commercial jar glazes. The workshop will look into the attributes of raw materials and how to use them to create new glazes that would otherwise have been thrown away! We will also address the cost and availability of ceramic materials and the environmental responsibilities of being a ceramic artist. See Syllabus
About MARY CAY
Mary Cay's art practice includes exploring and gaining knowledge of ceramic raw materials and glazing techniques. After five years of researching and testing, she developed processes for sustainability in ceramic glazing. The concept is that once a glaze is made it will never be discarded in the trash or go down the drain. She is currently booking workshops throughout the US.
Her work has been published in Ceramics Monthly magazine and in Lark Books 500 Bowls and, The Complete Guide to Mid-Range Glazes. The American Ceramic Society included articles on her development of Kiln Jewels in separate books by authors Hall and Turner.
She graduated from Metropolitan State University Denver with a BFA in ceramics and studied ceramic chemistry at SUNY Alfred. Attending glaze workshops taught by the esteemed authors and educators Robin Hopper and Ian Curry further honed her skills.
