September Raku at Waterbrook

Classes
Written By Rebecca C

Join us at Waterbrook Potters Studio for our next raku firing on September 26th. Cooler temperatures, crisp fall air, and a whole lot of fire, smoke, and glowing pots make this the perfect time to get outside and fire some work.

Cost: Waterbrook & CCCG $25 | Non-Members $30

  • Payment is due at the firing - cash or check only, paid to the Kilnmaster

PLEASE GLAZE YOUR PIECES BEFORE THE START OF RAKU

What to Bring

  • Bisqueware: Limit of 3–4 pieces per participant due to kiln space. Pieces should have a diameter of 8 inches or less.

    • Tall, narrow pieces are most likely to be fired

  • Raku glazes, horsehair, and feathers will be provided by the studio

  • Please wax the bottoms of your pieces (this can be done at the studio on firing day)

Safety Guidelines

Raku is a high-heat, smoke-heavy process. To stay safe and comfortable, please:

  • Wear closed-toe shoes

  • Dress in clothing made with cotton or natural fiber

  • Wear pants and long sleeves - No shorts or skirts

  • Tie back long hair

  • Bring a mask or respirator if you have one (highly recommended)
