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.

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. Functional glazes need to be food-safe and durable. Students will receive a special computer glaze calculator to help them and will make and adjust their own glazes. Students will make test tiles. No clay given as part of fee.

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 at front desk. Includes 25 lbs. of stoneware clay, in-studio glazing & firing.

Slab construction is the easiest and fastest form of hand building to learn while presenting the more advanced student with a variety of challenges. We’ll cover a variety of building and design techniques. Demonstrations will focus on the making of quality utilitarian or sculptural objects. Students will be introduced to numerous glazing techniques that allow them to fully explore colors and effects possible with mid-fire (cone 6 electric) and hi-fire (cone 10 reduction) glazes. Bring your own tools or purchase at the front desk. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of stoneware, firing, and in-studio glazing.

This class, designed for the intermediate/ advanced clay student, will focus on decorative techniques, which contribute to the improved complexity of the design of the student’s pieces. The use of colored slip in the process of mishima and sgraffitto, using colored clay in the process called millefiore (Itallian) or Neriage (Japanese), and techniques of applying glazes with spray guns will be employed on either wheel thrown or handbuilt clay objects, functional and/or sculptural. Use of low-fire lusters will also be introduced. Discussion will focus on improving the aesthetics and refinement of the student’s end product. Class fee includes 25 lbs. of clay, glazes, and all firing.
