Out of the Ashes: Raku 101

Head out to an innovative new space in New Richmond, Wisconsin—Potter’s Without Kilns—for a two-day, hands-on Raku firing with Mark Lusardi. Bring decorative pieces to life with flashy colors and lively crackles when you move them from the red-hot kiln to the combustion chamber where the Raku magic begins. Students should bring six to eight pieces—made of Raku clay, bisque fired, and no larger than a cantaloupe—to glaze before heading to the kiln. Pieces made with even thickness and strong attachments will handle the shocking transformation best. 

T5: Saturday, October 5, 10 am - 5 pm & Sunday, October 6, 10 am - 4 pm
Instructor: Mark Lusardi
Fee: $200 + $60 lab fee (5% member discount)
