Description
RAKU is amazing! The colours of the glaze with added metallics and the amazing crazing and spots of the smoke… Have you seen Raku firings? It is such an exciting and fascinating process and you can be part of it!!
In this double workshop you will first come to a Thursday night clay club on either 12/9, 19/9, 26/9, 3/10 or 10/10 and learn to make ceramic pumpkins and guords. You will be taught hand building and sculpting of clay during the evening, along with refreshments.
Your creations will be dried and bisque fired ready for Raku firing on 20th October. You will then come back on another Thursday evening to prep your pumpkins for the glaze/raku firing (last date to do this is 17th October). You are then very welcome to come along to watch or even assist in the firing on 20th October (time TBC), but if you cannot make this date we will fire your pieces for you. If you come along, you can then take your pieces away with you that day. Please note that the firing date maybe moved if the weather is raining or very windy.
£60 per person which includes 3 workshop sessions (main making, raku glaze painting and raku firing itself), all materials, two firings, raku glaze plus refreshments. . (Aprons are provided but please wear appropriate clothing including closed toe shoes and long trousers/sleeves for the firing and take off any jewellery as clay can be very messy.)
