Members and non-members welcome.

If you haven't been part of a raku firing before, they are fun, dramatic, and yield unpredictable but breathtaking results.

Get involved with handling glowing things! Our raku expert, David, will run this event providing our members with an opportunity to fire a few items.

 

Time: 10am - 1pm

 

9am - Glazing (if you haven't already glazed, but please try to do this before Saturday) 

9.30am - Kiln set up 

9.30am - Briefing and firing begins

 

Bring:

Bring bisque fired work that is thin and even. Small stuff survives while bigger things benefit from a good Raku clay (please check at WSP if unsure).  Pieces under 180mm. Raku glazes are labelled and in kiln room for use. Areas left unglazed will be blacks and greys. Glossy copper gives best results on its own (no glaze under or over). Dark colours don't show the crackle as well. Bigger, smooth areas are more likely to crackle.  Raku glazes will damage other kilns so glaze pieces to be stored in area designated by Larissa. If possible, please try to do your glazing before the day so it is dry and we can start firing straight away.

Costs:

There will be a $10 fee for members and $14 for non-members, that also covers your Open Studio session for the morning. There is a small gas fee on the day for the area taken up in the kiln. A Raku firing sheet will be used to calculate the kiln space and remaining cost. less
