RAKU FIRING EVENT

Our last raku firing of the year will be held in the backyard at the studio on Saturday, December 14 from 10am-4pm! This is a drop-in event and a great chance to experiment with a new firing type. Plan to attend for 2-3 hours during the event in order to glaze and fire your pieces.

A couple things to keep in mind about raku firing:

- You can use any clay body you like. Regardless of the original clay color, it will probably turn black when fired.

- You can ONLY use raku-specific glazes for raku firing. We have a few glaze options available and will provide them during the event.

- Raku firing is not food safe. Please fire only objects that are not intended for food.

- Each participant can expect to fire 3-4 small-ish pieces (no pieces over 6" tall, no large plates or platters)

- Pieces do need to be bisque fired prior to raku firing. Please have them on the bisque shelves at least two weeks prior to the event to ensure they are ready in time.

This workshop is limited to 15 participants to ensure everyone is able to fire their pieces!
