Education Archive #5 – Henryk Lula. Ceramics: The Art Of Matter. Copper glaze

In his work, Henry Lula devotes great importance to the artistic expression of glazes. The artist achieves exceptional effects by using heavy metal compounds such as copper in the mixtures he develops.  Lula uses the technique of firing in a reductive atmosphere, which involves cutting off the air supply, in conjunction with copper glazes. Thanks to this technology, ceramic objects gain shiny surfaces of red, brown or green color.
