RAKU ORNAMENTS! two sessions
The Japanese word Raku, pronounced "rah-koo", is a commonly-used word that means comfort, ease, or relief.
In this two session class we will learn about the art of Raku firing and make beaufitugl ornaments in time for holidays!
This is a dynamic process in which work is removed from the kiln at bright red heat and subjected to post-firing reduction (or smoking) by being placed in containers of combustible materials, which blackens raw clay and causes crazing in the glaze surface.
We will enjoy one session of hand making small objects in the studio (masks are required) and one session of firing while learning about the aesthetic of Raku. This class is designed for quiet enjoyment of clay. We pinch, smooth, and stamp the clay into objects made for meditation and slow enjoyment. After each firing session, you will take your work home with you to enjoy for years to come. The prefect addition to your holiday home or the perfect gift!
