Description

Learn the basics of low fired glazes, application, and firing techniques in this one-day workshop. Students will pull their own pieces out from the hot kiln and carefully place them in a lidded container filled with combustible materials. 

• You should plan on firing no more than 5 pieces. Bring your own bisque-ware or purchase from pre-made pieces.

• Pots should be made using raku clay or stoneware with grog to better survive the firing process. No wider than 6" and no taller than 12"; avoid flat forms.

• Due to the nature of the firing process, student’s work will not be water tight (not functional or food-safe).

• Bring your own lunch. Students are welcome to use our mini fridge and water cooler in the Main Classroom. 

• Please wear cotton clothing. Synthetic or wool clothing can get damaged with heat around the kiln and the reduction chambers. Long hair and loose clothing must be tied back.

• CAC requires a 30 day notification of cancellation for raku glaze firing - There are no refunds for cancellations made within 30 days of the class date. This is because it’s extremely difficult to find a replacement student if there’s not enough time to make and bisque pieces.
