Members Poll Lustres

Please fill out if you are interested in participating in a lustre fire

Info to Know Before Filling Out:

  • Lustres types are an overglaze - meaning lustres are to be applied after a glaze firing

  • Lustres can be finicky to apply and are quite expensive as they contain liquid precious metals

  • Lustres are sensitive, and should be fired only with a single type of lustre in the firing (i.e gold 10% only) to lessen the chance of other off gases that may alter the finish

  • Lustres can be extremely potent in smell therefore you cannot apply lustres in the studio. You will have to apply at home by an open window or under a fume hood and let off gas or apply outside the studio with our patio table and let off gas before bringing in for the fire. no exceptions.

  • As we know in ceramics though following firing programs sometimes things don’t end up how you expect - lustres are no different

This isn’t to scare, but to inform so you can make the decision if you would like to participate in one of our upcoming lustre fires.
