RAKU CERAMICS WORKSHOPS
Raku is a low-temperature ceramic technology that originated in Japan in the 16th century, which has become popular among ceramists in many countries today.
Raku firing takes place outdoors, in a special kiln heated to a thousand degrees with gas. Glazed works are placed in the kiln, and firing begins. When the glaze melts, the hot objects are lifted out of the kiln with tongs, placed in sawdust, or reduced. The glazed part of the object takes on a specific color, while the uncovered clay surface turns black while in the sawdust. The objects are then placed in cold water to cool and cleaned of soot. This whole process is a great joy of collaboration, resulting in unique ceramic objects. The finished work can be received immediately after the firing!
The workshop lasts about 2.5-4 hours. (Objects previously prepared by the ceramists are glazed and fired). The participant can glaze the object, participate in the firing process and take their own work of art home with them after the firing! In addition, the workshop participant will naturally gain a lot of interesting knowledge about Raku ceramics and the intense emotion of creating unique ceramics through the interaction of fire and water.
