Experience the magic of Raku pottery at our raku workshops! You will learn the history of raku pottery, examine inspiring examples and participate in different glazing techniques. Raku pottery is a traditional Japanese firing technique that requires the pots to be removed from the kiln while they are still red hot and then placed into a container with combustible materials. Once the pot is placed into the container, the lid is closed, and the smokey atmosphere will react with the glaze to create dazzling effects. All work will be available to take home the same day.
Important Notes:
- -You are welcome to bring up to 2 bisque ware pieces to glaze (must be clay purchased from Clay Studio)
- -Participants must wear close-toed shoes, jeans, or cotton. No pants with synthetic fabric.
- -If you are interested in horsehair raku, you must provide your own.
