In this workshop, you will embellish pre-formed ceramic pieces using wax resist and raku glazes and experience the unique process of burning horsehair and feathers onto pottery. Everyone will participate in the thrilling firing process by experimenting with three vessels, each reflecting the creativity and magic of raku firing. Students are encouraged to bring horsehair and feathers.
