About the event
Class will start at 10am and go for about 3-4 hours with a lunch break. Jesus will start out with a talk about the history and explain the various techinques and what you can expect during the process and saftey rules. We have raku clay here at the studio so that you can throw your pieces that you will use in the workshop. Keep in mind that they are not food safe with raku, so just make decorative pieces. He might have some pieces also in case they are needed. Once you pick out a pot (or one you made) you will use one of tecniques to create a beautiful unique piece, that you can take home that day!
Since there are fumes that come along with doing raku, we will be doing this in my back yard (adress listed above), that is only minutes away from the studio. Other than maybe bringing your own pot, Jesus will bring everything we need for this fun and educational event.
