Attendees sign up to bring 1-4 pieces of their own bisque fired pots to design and fire.
Don't have any pots ready, but curious about Raku? Premade burnished pots can be ordered when registering.
*All work must be made with Raku Clay or oven proof stoneware. Pots can be hand built or wheel-thrown. (12” tall x 4” wide or smaller) Only 1 larger piece per person.
Those attendees who wish to try out a Horsehair/Ferric Cloride fire should burnish greenware when leather-hard and add 3 coats of terra siglatta on bone dry greenware before bisque firing for best results.
Attendees should wear closed toe shoes or boots, long pants and long sleeves are a must. Natural fibers best. Safety gear will be provided for pulling pots out of the kiln.
More details on the curriculum and pre-work provided for attendees well in advance of the workshop. Water, coffee, and tea provided.
Class may run over to finish firing all work.
