Bergren Forum - ’Color in Ceramic Glazes’
(12:10 PM - 1:00 PM)
The Bergren Forum sponsored by the Division of Human Studies and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will be meeting at 12:10 P.M. on Thursday, April 11 in the Nevins Theater, Powell Campus Center.
Bring a brown bag lunch, coffee and tea will be provided.
Speaker: William Carty
Topic: "Color in Ceramic Glazes: A Happy Accident"
Highly prized 12th century Celadon glazes are a luxurious pale green. This color, however, was not a result of an added colorant, but due to the interaction of a clear glaze with a body that contained iron. What research has uncovered is that the firing schedules for these ceramic pieces were much longer than modern firing cycles - up to four days compared to the three hours commonly used today.
This lecture will also give a brief summary of the modern routes used to obtain color in ceramic glazes today.
