Raku Firing

Participants on the course will learn the basics of raku firing and decorate raku articles themselves to take with them as mementos. There are half-finished simple pottery articles in the studio that will be decorated with a raku glaze and fired in an outdoor raku kiln. These will be lifted while red-hot into a smoking container, where the clay mass is stained black and the glazes acquire unexpected colours! The articles are cooled rapidly in water. The firing is repeated until all the articles are finished. The participants will receive their work to take with them at the end of the course.
