Full Description
This exam investigates the influence of various firing conditions on the characteristics of ceramic glazes, including color development and textural qualities. Candidates will articulate the transformation processes that occur during firing.
The significance of understanding firing dynamics extends beyond aesthetics; it impacts the functionality and durability of pieces. Mastery of these conditions fosters informed decision-making in both ceramic art and manufacturing.
Candidates will be evaluated on their verbal explanation of how temperature, atmosphere, and firing time collectively shape glaze outcomes. Familiarity with reduction and oxidation processes will be crucial.
Preparation should include examples where adjusting firing conditions has led to notable changes in glaze appearance or performance. This will demonstrate understanding of practical implications in the glazing process.
Sample Questions
- How do changes in firing temperature affect the color development of glazes?
- What role does atmosphere play in the reduction and oxidation of glaze surfaces?
