The basic steps for throwing will be the focus for beginners, while more advanced students will be challenged by more complex forms and techniques, which will lead to all students achieving success through practice. Students will also explore the myriad ways to apply glazes. Bring your own tools or purchase a kit at the front desk. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, firing, and in-studio glazing.

Raku – Fire & Smoke, Ted Camp

Ted Camp B-A
Thursdays 9:00-12:00

Using previously developed construction skills, students will produce either handbuilt or wheel thrown work and apply special glazes to their bisque-fired work PRIOR to each class. During class, those pieces will be fired quickly and students will then remove their work from the hot kiln while the glazes are still molten. They will then place their work into smoking chambers where the glazes will develop a serendipitous variety of surface and colored effects unique only to raku while rapidly cooling. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, glazes, and all firing.

Alicia Farris will share her studies of the human face in this three-day watercolor workshop.
