Raku Workshops pay for each separately or take advantage of our reduced rate for all 3 for $100!
Raku is derived from an ancient Japanese method of firing. The pots are removed from the kiln when hot and placed into a container of peat moss, leaves, grasses or newspaper. The unique pattern of colours and metallic finish comes from the interplay of flames, smoke and rapid cooling. Due to the low-fire method, Raku is strictly decorative and no two pieces are ever alike. This is a three part workshop, each can be taken separately and is structured so that potters can take this class and bring their own bisque ware or their own pre-glazed ceramics to the firing.
