This workshop is a hand-building class for all skill levels with raku clay. Over the course of 4 weeks, students will create a small body of work that will be fired in a raku kiln in MakerPark during a special 5th day event. Different non-traditional finishes will be discussed and all work will be created with these different techniques in mind. The final day of this workshop, students will get to experience loading the kiln, getting it up to temperature, and adding their own finishes as the pieces leave the kiln.
This workshop is open to anyone 18 and up.
