Raku: 2 sessions; clay handbuilding & glazing/firing

Raku is an ancient Japanese firing technique. This workshop includes two sessions. The first session we learn beginning hand building techniques with raku clay. Syd provides inspiration and help with technique.

A week or so later, in the second session, we glaze our pieces and submit them to the kiln’s flame in a fire of transformation. The pieces come out of the kiln very hot, and are smoked in sawdust and scrubbed clean once cooled.

Outstanding colors and wild crackle patterns emerge. It’s terrific to experience this process together and share it amongst the group.

When: October 11th, 5:30-8pm (handbuilding) AND October 20th, 11:30-4pm (raku firing)

Cost: $125 for the 2 sessions
