Feel free to bring your own snacks.Raku firing is a rapid process, only a few objects at a time will be able to be fired; this means the session will be extended over the whole dayThe process has limits in terms of object size and suits objects that are not too big, a size of H200mm vase form is approximately the largest that can be managed safelyABOUT RAKU:Raku is a rapid low-firing process that is inspired by the traditional Japanese Raku firing. Western-style Raku involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat around 1000 centigrade and placing it into containers with combustible materials such as sawdust. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed. This produces an intense reduction atmosphere which affects the colours in glazes and clay bodies. The thermal shock of this also produces cracking/crazing, producing unexpected outcomes.If you have any questions regarding the course, please email: hello@makercampus.co.ukAbout the Artist Leading The Session: Led by Peter Jones, a ceramic artist who has run his own studio for over 26 years.
