Description
Western raku is a low-temperature, fast-firing process for finishing your ceramic sculptures with dazzling effects. Traditional and contemporary raku glazes such as white crackle and metallic copper are provided. Bring 3-4 bisque-fired pieces that can each individually fit within a box measuring 6 inches squared. You may bring additional pieces in case there is extra room in the kiln. Work should be made with a sculpture clay or a grey clay with grog. Glazes included, bring your own brushes. Wear close-toed shoes and wool, cotton or linen long-sleeved clothing. Participants will glaze their work from 10am-12pm, followed by the firing. Participants are responsible for ensuring they have enough work prepared in advance of the firing date. No refunds after April 25. Please note that this activity will happen during Burnaby Blooms eco-festival in Deer Lake Park. Instructor: Tony Wilson
