About this event

Art Classes Workshops

Experience the drama, amazement, and instant gratification of Raku in this one-day firing workshop. Bring up to 6 bisque fired pieces (vertically oriented vase and cylinder forms up to 12 inches in height preferred). We will glaze the pieces using a variety of crackle, iridescent luster, and matte glazes and fire the work outdoors in our brand new Laguna Raku kiln. Pieces will be removed from the red-hot kiln and quickly transferred into trash cans filled with sawdust for the reduction process to occur. Participants will go home the same day with dramatically transformed, finished work!
