Students will learn the structure of glaze and the development of colour in a variety of glaze types and finishes. The development of the glaze and colour will be undertaken through various testing methodologies for example line blend, tri-axil blend, square blend & colour blends. The testing & development program will lead to the student developing their own range of glazes. Workplace Health and Safety (WHS) instruction and environmental impact management is an integral part of this course.

- competently utilise a range of skills relevant to Ceramic Glaze and Colour development in response to Workshop projects;
