About the event

Raku is low-temperature, fast-firing process that yields exciting and dramatic surface effects on ceramic pieces. It gives artists the chance to paint with smoke, create stunning metallic contrasts with glazes, and bright organic patterns with various materials. Most exciting is that you can experience the final results of a firing in a very short time. This class will cover techniques for creating raku forms and preparing their surfaces. It will also teach various finishing techniques with fire, reduction, and surface treatments.   We will explore horsehair, carbon surfaces, saggar, and glazes.   In addition to these styles students will also be exposed to saggar methods and various combinations of surfaces.  


We will be firing during class 3 or 4 weeks of this session, with the goal of learning/practicing these techniques and each student completing 1-2 pieces per firing.


Participants must be at least 18 years old.
