$40-$60/person. Ages 10-13 w/an adult or ages 14+. All levels welcome.In this hands-on class, you'll explore alternative firing methods in a communal kiln firing setting.
Option one $40: Pick up 2lbs of raku clay at the studio any time after purchase and build your pieces at home. Drop your work off at the studio to be bisque-fired by 8/21. Then, join us for the raku fire, 6/8, where we will glaze and fire your pieces and they will be ready to take home that day. Basic tools kits are also for sale in the studio.
Option two $60: Join us on 8/31 and choose from pre-made, bisqued pieces to be glazed and fired and taken home that day!
American Raku is a contemporary take on the traditional Japanese method. In this process, works are removed from the kiln at peak heat, where rapid oxidation or combustible reduction produces dramatic surface effects on the clay and glaze. The results, uniquely colored by fire and smoke, are ready to handle in less than an hour. While pre-made ceramic vessels are provided by Ilwaco Artworks, students are encouraged to create their own pieces.
