The Raku workshop is for current pottery students and potters who already have bisque fired pottery made from a suitable clay for raku firing ready to fire on the day.
Join Potter Heather Gilbert for a Raku session which will include western style raku glaze firings, naked raku and horse hair and feather firings. The last firings on the day will be a form of saggar firing using a variety of materials, such as seaweed, banana skins, copper carbonate and wire, sawdust and salt to add colour to the work. These saggar pieces will be ready to collect the following week.
An information sheet with hints for a successful firing will be available for attendees at their current class.
The Raku day is a wonderful experience and social atmosphere and a chance to share in a real ceramic community experience and meet potters from our various classes.
A limited amount of pottery can be fired during the workshop. We will do our best to take turns to fire a little of everyone's work, and to fire as much as possible in the class time.
