Out of the Ashes: Raku 101, 25FT5

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.

Note: Students will not have access to NCC’s open studio time unless they are already enrolled in a 12-week fall class at NCC.
