Alternative Firing & Raku Ages 16+
Take your ceramics practice beyond the electric kiln in this ongoing Friday night class focused on raku and alternative firing techniques. Designed as a continuous series, this class alternates weekly between making and firing, allowing students to develop intentional forms and then participate in the full firing process from start to finish.
This course will alternate between Making and Firing classes.
Making Weeks
Create forms designed specifically for raku and alternative firing using hand building and/or the wheel, with guidance on clay bodies, surface prep, and process planning.
Firing Weeks
Fire your work in the raku kiln and participate in hands-on firing and post-firing techniques, exploring rotating methods like glaze raku, naked raku, horsehair, obvara, foil saggar, and barrel firing. The possibilities are endless!
