Description

We have rebuilt our Raku kiln and are ready to host another workshop focused on this unique process. The workshop will meet 4 times, participants will make there ceramic pieces (handbuilt or wheel thrown, functional or sculptural), talk about the raku firing process, glaze with specific raku glazes, and then firing their pieces as a group on August 29th (rain date Sept 5th). The firing day is included in the workshop but also available separately for those who either bring their own bisqueware for use a piece of left over bisqueware from the studio's collections. Registration for just the Raku Firing Day is here: https://smithy-clay-studio.jumbula.com/Summer2026/RakuFiringBYOBisqueware

Raku is an outdoor, alternative firing method based in ancient pottery traditions. We will glaze items with raku specific glazes, fire them in the outdoor kiln then abruptly remove the pieces and place them in a reduction environment with combustibles. Raku is known for having variable color and surface pattern results. We will have sawdust and horsehair on hand to experiment with. Participants may bring their own materials to try out!
