Raku Firing will be held at Dianne Lockerby’s from 8:30am until finished. The clay pots & sculptures will be loaded in the raku kiln; kiln temps are rapidly increased to 1800-1900 Degrees F. Once the glazes melt & smooth out, the pieces are individually removed from the kiln. Pieces are placed in a metal can filled with combustible materials and the hot pot causes the combustibles to create flames. A tight-fitting lid on the can smothers those flames, and the resulting smoke can cause colors to appear on the pots. Students will leave with their finished glazed pieces.
*Participants must wear cotton clothing (no polyester or spandex) and leather shoes/boots (no sandals). Fire precautions will be taken, and a waiver will need to be signed by each participant. Lunch on May 10 th will be a potluck.
