Color and Texture on a Tight Budget

Help me give my students a comprehensive palette of glazes for ceramics class this year. Our budget will not cover these and they were quite popular last year.

My Project

In our ceramics class students learn about the connections of clay to many disciplines beyond visual art, including chemistry, geology, anthropology, and history. Through the simultaneous utilization of their hands, minds, and spirits they develop their cognitive, creative, and physical skills. Emphasis on understanding the Elements of Art and Principles of Design in creating visual imagery is a major focus of the class. To explore the Elements of color, texture and value, access to a wide variety of glazes and underglazes is of great importance in a ceramics classroom. Limitations on our budget are having a strong impact on the materials needed. Your help in supplying these is of immense value.
