The Raku Firing sessions use a selection from the following techniques and media - naked raku, obvara, ferric chloride, saggar firing and horsehair, alongside standard raku firings, all of which will be explained on the Raku day.

​

Raku generally refers to a type of low-firing process that was inspired by traditional

Japanese raku firing. Western-style raku usually involves removing pottery from the kiln while at bright red heat and placing it into containers with combustible materials. Once the materials ignite, the containers are closed.

​

You will need to bring along a maximum of four bisque fired pieces in suitable raku clay body  - maximum width 30cm, maximum height 40cm.
