ONE - DAY WHEEL THROWING WORKSHOPS
In this one - day workshop , students will receive a crash course in wheel techniques and commercial glazing . This class does not cover all parts of the ceramic process and is recommended for creative individuals looking to experiment in throwing on the wheel without the commitment of a weekly class schedule . Students will paint their thrown pieces with engobes and underglaze . After the workshop , the instructor will bisque fire and clear glaze . Students will pick up their fired and glazed pieces 1 - 2 weeks after the workshop . Note : The workshop does not include open studio time .
RAKU AND SAGGER FIRE WORKSHOP
LUSTER WORKSHOP
Participants should bring 5 - 10 pieces of work previously glaze fired in electric or gas kilns .( no salt or soda or raku ). Lusters are applied on top of glaze fired work . Gold , white gold ( silver ), copper , platinum , and mother of pearl lusters will be available for use . If you want Luster decals you can buy them from Davens or theceramicshop . com . Make sure they are LUSTER decals , not underglaze decals . The finished pieces will be available for pick up the next day after noon . Masks or respirators are recommended if sensitive to fumes .
Raku firing is low fire , and will not be water tight . Pots should be for decorative , non - food uses . Sculptures and decorative pottery forms are best , but any bisque fired pieces will work . Bring a meal for our thirty minute lunch break . Bring 5 - 7 small to midsize pieces or 2 - 3 large pieces to fire . All work must be bisque fired prior to the workshop . Handmade bisqueware will be available to purchase for students to use if they don ' t have enough of their own work to fire . For safety and comfort , wear natural fiber clothing and closed toe shoes . No synthetic clothing or open toe shoes and sandals . Flame , water , and soot will likely create a dirty and smoky experience , so wear clothing that you will not mind getting dirty and possibly stained . In this hands - on workshop students learn to decorate and fire using westernized raku methods using combustible materials to create striking glaze results that vary depending on the way the flames and oxygen react to create vibrant colors and / or crackle effects . We also will do one special firing using aluminum sagger techniques providing earthtones and similar results to pitfiring .
