Glazing with Fong Choo
Spend 2 days learning alongside Fong Choo and his "Dwippy" methods of glaze play. Learn his secrets of taking commercial glazes to the next level in this Workshop (demonstration only).
This somewhat unorthodox method of glazing work uses highly fluxed, reactive Mayco low fire commercial crystal glazes paired with their SW Mid Range Series of glazes fired to Cone 5-6 in oxidation. The methods that will be demonstrated are designed to create a dazzling palette of finishes. Results have been described many ways: Luscious. Random. Runny. Marbly. Amazing. And ‘Dwippy.’ Choo likes to say “They’re so loose they slide.”
Choo is also highly regarded for his use of alternative materials in his handles. Attendees will be shown creative ways to use cane and reed in handle assemblages for the teapots.
Fong Choo has taught workshops across the U.S. and internationally in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia, Israel, Canada, and in his native Singapore. His work has also received numerous awards at The Smithsonian Craft Show, The Philadelphia Museum of Art Show and the The American Craft Exposition. He is currently working on a number of patron-commissioned pieces.
