Details:
On this course multiple techniques of Raku firing are demonstrated, these include slip resist and naked Raku, obvara, glazing with lustre's and without and horsehair and feather.
 
Students are required to bring 5 small pre bisque fired items, one of which must be burnished. 1 larger item is allowed but can be no bigger than a 1 litre milk carton, this is due to space in the kiln. They must all be made from white Raku specific clay. I would highly recommend the clay available from POTCLAYS
