Let's Get Glazey! @ FAC Creative Campus
Are you interested in learning how to make your own pottery glazes and explore new ways of firing and finishing your work? Join us for an exclusive class taught by ceramic artist Judy Madison! Students will get to visit Judy's personal studio and have their own work fired in her gas kiln, while learning about atmospheric firings and reaching new depths in the ceramics field.
This class will explore reduction firing and glazing. Reduction firing is a ceramic firing technique that uses an oxygen-deprived atmosphere to create unique colors and textures in clay. Students must be 18 years or older. Students will create their own pottery and forms and learn about glaze mixing and application for reduction. They will also learn about the safe operation of gas kilns. Enrolled students are welcome to bring in previously bisqued work made in a high-fire clay to class for glazing and firing.
This class includes glaze materials and the reduction firing, which will take place at Judy Madison's studio on the last day of class. Bags of clay can be purchased for $25 each during class. A personal pack of beginner clay tools can be purchased for $20 during class, as studio tools are provided on a first come, first served basis.
The Let's Get Glazey Open Studio takes place Saturdays from 9am-5pm for each week that classes are active. Students must sign up and pay for open studio before their first class takes place in order to attend. The Let's Get Glazey Open Studio is only open to students that are concurrently taking the Inside Look At Reduction class.
Classes: $185 members, $210 Friends/nonmembers

92 Years Ago
The March 2, 1933 Colorado Transcript announced that the Colorado & Southern railroad was offering "fresh air" passenger service through Clear Creek canyon. Although passenger trains had been discontinued in 1927, the rails were still in place, used for freight trains.
The railroad had a specially adapted automobile that was equipped with small locomotive engines and wheels suitable for train tracks. "The car is operated only when five first-class tickets are purchased for the service."
