Jon Schmidt uses commercial glazes, but you wouldn’t know that based on his results. He owns the results. That is because he makes them his own! But what about you? Is it possible to take the glazes of Amaco and Mayco and Georgies and Coyote and a host of other commercial glazes and make them your own?
In this class Jon will break down the steps to elevate your glazing process from simply following the “rules” to helping you understand how to make your own rules of applications and layerings. This will make those commercial glazes sitting on our shelves your own expression. He’ll help you make magic on your work.
