Students will learn how to make test tiles, dissolve colorants, blend slips and/or sigilattas, track experiments with proper notes, and recreate the colors they discover along the way. A limited palette of ceramic stains and metal oxides will be provided, but if there are colors which artists are excited to test that are not available through the studio, purchasing additional mason stains or ceramic oxides might be suggested.
