Raku’s history goes back 600 years in Japan. Once revealed in the United States, it has become a popular way of fast-firing to a temperature around 1860 degrees. 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. In addition to regular raku glazing, students are encouraged to try naked raku, obvara, and horse-hair techniques as alternative choices to glazing for their surface patterns. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, glazes, and all firing.
