Raku Workshop: Paint & Fire Gnomes

This workshop provides a hands-on experience into the fascinating world of Raku.. Students will choose 1 bisqueware gnome and paint it using special Raku glazes, next we will place them into a fast-firing gas kiln and fire them up to 1800. After reaching 1800, gnomes will be pulled out of the kiln using protective safety gear and equipment and placed into a reduction chamber (trashcan full of combustibles). After 15 mins, Gnomes will be removed, cleaned up and available to TAKE HOME! That’s right! Raku is the only ceramic firing process that you take your pots home the same night! Please show up 5-10 minutes prior to class

Workshop is suitable for Ages 6 & Up. Under 14 must have parent supervision
