Course Code: ARTS1831

Please Note: Previous Raku experience or permission of the instructor is required to participate in this course.
This advanced-level professional development course is a challenging exploration of the technical aspects of various Raku effects. Topics will be systematically studied and results evaluated so that intended outcomes can be obtained at will. Exploring the spectacular technique called Naked Raku as a starting point, there will be a thorough study of effective and successful firing and post-firing reduction techniques. Daily firings will allow us to proceed from basic Naked Raku techniques to more experimental approaches. Please bring eight bisqued pieces using Raku clay. A maximum class size of 12 ensures individual attention.
