 This raku workshop will build upon participants prior experiences with the raku firing process.  In our meeting prior to the firing we will discuss the different glazes available and  how to incorporate them into the overall design of the wares .  As well as using glazes to decorate , we will talk about how to use terra sigiallata to create burnished surfaces to enhance overall design.  Participants will play an active roll in the loading and unloading of successive firings to achieve optimal results.  As always safety protocols will be discussed prior to the firing.
