Clay Space Glaze Making Program

Clay Space Ceramic Center, with the guidance of studio manager Michael Gundlach and the Clay Space tech team, is excited to offer glaze mixing services to the wider ceramics community. We know many small studios and artists that don’t have the space, equipment, or time to mix glazes in-house. Our goal is to provide support, development and production of cone 6 glazes for use by our fellow artists and clay makers.

Bring us your recipes — we’ll help you get the glazes you are looking for..
