WORKSHOPS: CERAMICS

The ultimate party for those who don’t want to clean-up! Come get dirty with us (pun intended!) and make little homes for your succulents and other small plants. We will provide adult beverages and you are welcome to bring edibles (pun unintended!). Plan to come back later to pick up your fired pieces.

Sculpt an animal in clay, glaze the animal in the next session. Have the fun and excitement of gesturing quickly in clay, refining and finishing an animal of your choice in one session. After two or more weeks of drying the clay, the piece goes through a bisque firing. Class returns for three hours of experimenting with glazing, to finish work.

Students will be notified as to when to pick up finished work. Note: This workshop spans two days.

All materials are provided. Please bring a lunch.

If you like experimenting with your already fired ceramics, you will want to be a part of this workshop! After glazing already bisque fired ceramics, you will explore this ancient Japanese technique of firing work in an outdoor kiln and removing it while it is still red hot! Pieces will be place in bins of combustible materials then quenched to starve the piece of oxygen. This gives the surface quality of each piece a truly unique finish, displaying a variety of colors and textures when cooled. In addition, other related techniques such as experimentation with horsehair or crackle may be explored.  

Please bring bisque-fired ceramic project(s) that you would like to Raku fire. 

Grogged stoneware clay is ideal for this process.
