Saturday, November 28

7pm – 9pm  

Price:

$75

Explore the raku process by seeing 1-2 pieces all the way to a finished product, in one night! Participants are encouraged to bring their own bisque ware but instructor will also provide pre-bisqued cups and bowls for sale at $10/piece. Five different raku glazes will be provided as well as general tips for application while the kiln warms up. For best results, use a white stoneware clay, as porcelain is prone to cracking and red/dark clays will not show much contrast with this technique. These pieces will be heated in the kiln and removed at red-hot temperatures so please avoid pieces with thin walls or insecure joints.

This workshop will allow students to experiment with an alternative firing method for any temperature-range (bisqued) piece, in the scope of a low-commitment, one-time workshop.  
 
For everyone’s safety, participants MUST wear close-toed-shoes and natural fiber clothing (cotton, linen, etc.).

Please note: class is held partially outdoors. 

Class will be held at:
Morean Center for Clay
420 22nd St S
St. Petersburg, FL 33712

Lily Denhoff primarily defines her practice playing with form and alternative firing techniques. Specializing in high-temperature wood firing, she uses clay body, heat, and oxygen in the atmosphere to design the layers of surface that decorate the pots.
