| ABOUT THE WORKSHOP Inspired by traditional Japanese raku firing, this Western-style raku involves removing pottery from a kiln while at bright red heat and placing it into containers with combustible materials. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which affects the colors in glazes and clay bodies and produces brilliant metallic blues, purples, coppers, reds, and yellows. Participants will have the opportunity to fire up to 12 items (options and pricing are available when registering.
