| One day workshop Sunday, Nov 20, 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. Raku is a low fire process that results in a wide variety of colors, no two are ever alike. We get glaze colors ranging from coppers and golds to greens, yellows, reds, and blues. You may create a new one! These workshop allow the novice to learn the basics of low fired glazes, application, and firing on bisque pottery forms. Students may bring their own bisque pieces or purchase from a wide variety of pieces available at Lakeside Pottery.
