For students interested in a reduction firing technique, Raku Firing Sessions allow first hand experience in loading raku kilns, controlling atmosphere and transporting pieces to a reduction chamber! Students will be briefed with a small lecture on the history of raku and its westernization, then guided throughout each part of the process leading to post-reduction. Join us and watch your work transform into a beautiful multi-colored finished piece right in front of you!
