Alternative Firing: A Workshop in Alternative Finishings with CJ Henderson

Alternative Firing Workshop with CJ Henderson
An exciting world of alternative finishing techniques

Two Sundays: September 14th & 21st, 2025

Sunday 9/14: 10 am – 2 pm | Sunday 9/21: 9 am – 3 pm | All Levels | Ceramics Studio

This workshop is great for a first time clay experience or for the experienced potter to explore a number of new finishes. We will be using non-traditional finishes such as Raku, Saggar, and Obvara to create beautiful surface results.

We will meet on two consecutive Sunday’s, the first, to create our pieces and the second to fire them.



What You’ll Experience:

Hands-On Raku Firing: Engage in the Raku process, from glaze application to firing, and witness the distinctive transformations that Raku creates.
Safety and Technique: Due to the intense nature of Raku, students will work closely with open flames. For safety on the firing day, please wear long pants, closed-toe shoes, and natural fiber clothing.
