Alternative Firing Techniques: Wheel Throwing & Hand Building

Adults

Explore several firing techniques including Raku, Horse Hair, and Foil Saggar Firing. Come away with unique wheel-thrown or hand built pieces imprinted by the firing techniques with glorious metallics or earthy colors and smoke and carbon.

Tuition includes guaranteed access to 3 Ceramics Open Studio sessions per registered class. Ceramics Open Studio is an opportunity to practice skills outside class. A sign up link will be available when class starts.

Given the complexities of firing, we cannot guarantee student work will be fired in the order in which it was received. Students will be emailed each time the kiln has been fired and unloaded. Because of limited space we can only hold onto finished pieces for three (3) weeks and will discard any unclaimed pieces after the posted date.
