| Raku Workshop - Sunday, October 16th |
 |
|
One day workshop Sunday, Oct 16, 2005, 10:00 -
5:00PM.
Our Raku workshops are educational and remove all
the mystery out of raku breaking it down to theory,
step by step processes, chemistry, physics and
hands-on. Students are required to bring their own
bisque pieces or purchase from a wide variety of
pieces available at Lakeside Pottery. All pieces are
fired in propane fueled kilns heated to approximately
1800 degrees F, and post-reduction fired in
containers using organic materials (e.g., newspaper).
Lakeside Pottery has the-state-of-the-art Raku
equipment custom designed and built to minimize
breakage and generate amazing colors and effects.
