Season Brief

The 100 Glaze Project - Season 1

The 100 Glaze Project is a structured, collaborative ceramic research program designed to explore glaze chemistry through guided experimentation and shared analysis. In this first season, participants focus on the development of transparent glaze systems at two firing ranges: Cone 6 and Cone 04. The goal is to understand clarity, melt behavior, and glaze fit across different formulations while building a reliable library of functional transparent glazes.

Research Framework

How the cohort works

  • A cohort of 10 participants works in one coordinated testing system.
  • Each participant develops and tests 1 glaze variation.
  • The group contributes 10 recipes from 10 different people.
  • Combined testing creates a collective set of 100 test results.
  • All results are reviewed for clarity, melt behavior, and glaze fit.
Season Focus
