This truly unique 3-Week Course will give you the opportunity to dip your toe in our favorite aspect of ceramics: Firing. This raku firing is an American twist on a traditional Japanese method of firing ceramics where glowing hot pieces are taken from the kiln and placed in a container with combustible materials to create a very cool effect on each piece. This three week course will give you the chance to create AND fire your own pieces; an experience not offered in any of the other class options. Participants will make pieces either on the potter’s wheel or at the hand-building table to be fired the last week of class. Class is limited to 12 people. We recommend participants have some prior experience with clay, but it is not required! Participants must be 12 years or older; under 16 must be accompanied by a guardian.  

Class Dates and Times:

April 15th and 22nd: Instruction 6-8pm

April 17th and 24th: Open Studio 5-8pm

April 29th: Firing 6-9pm

In-Class Projects

In-class projects vary from class to class. Generally, there will be a wheel-thrown component and a hand-building component. Pottery is a broad field and we strive to offer a glimpse into a variety of aspects.
