Raku Fire Workshop (2 days)

Raku Fire Workshop for Adults ages 18 and up (2 days)  

Please register your interest and I will contact you with the next available dates. 

Saturday: 4h (8am to 3pm) 

Sunday: 6h (10am - 5pm)  

All skill levels welcome!  

This workshop takes place over two consecutive Saturdays.. During the first Saturday, from 10am-2pm, you will learn how to handbuild a given vessel. Then, after I fire your work to bisque temperatures, you will return the following Saturday from 10am till possibly 4pm, and learn various ways to glaze your work with decorative Raku glazes.  

We will all participate in the firing process that follows. 

Fired in a Raku kiln to 1050 degrees, the pots will be pulled out while glowing red hot (using metal tongs and safety gloves), placed in a reduction chamber where the oxides in the glaze “paint” themselves according to the kiln God’s wishes.  The results are vast and unpredictable as many variables are at play, and you can expect bright flashes of copper reds, blues, yellows, and oranges both shiny and matte in texture. 

Come explore clay and fire in this exciting workshop and take home your finished piece after the firing is complete.  

Price $350 per person. 

All materials, tools and glazes included!

Camping onsite +$50
