Students will produce work and apply special glazes to their bisque-fired work BEFORE class. During class, work will be fired quickly and then removed from the hot kiln while the glazes are still molten. Work will then be placed into smoking chambers where the glazes will develop a variety of surface and colored effects unique to raku while rapidly cooling. Students will be encouraged to try naked raku, obvara, and horse-hair techniques. Fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, in house glazing and firing, MASK REQUIRED.

Thursdays 1:00-4:00

This course explores the chemical constituents of glazes in non-technical ways and would interest any student who is interested in making their own glazes. Knowing what a chemical contributes to the glaze formula is critical in choosing chemicals that provide the surface or color a student is looking for. The glaze needs to be food-safe and durable in its use. Students will receive a special computer glaze calculator, which will help them to see when a glaze is properly fluxed to produce a durable surface and will help them to know what it will look like before the glaze is made. Students will make their own glazes (for cone 6 electric or cone 10 reduction) and adjust them to produce desired results on test tiles. Time will be spent applying test glazes to test tiles, and not constructing work. No clay will be provided to the student as part of the class fee. MASK REQUIRED

Wheel throwing has attracted students who like symmetrically round objects and has challenged them to learn how to control the development of a particular form. The basic steps to throwing will be the focus for beginners while more advanced students will be challenged by more complex forms and techniques for achieving greater scale or diversity of form. Demonstrations will repeatedly show the techniques, which will lead to the student’s success, through practice. Students will also explore the myriad ways to apply glazes to their pieces and experience the differences between mid-fire (cone 6 electric) and hi-fire (gas fired cone 10 reduction) glazes. Bring your own tools or purchase a beginner’s kit at our front desk. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of stoneware clay, in-studio glazing & firing.
