C208 Raku Firing **6 weeks!**

Instructor: Keith Carter

Follow our celebrated Ceramics instructors on a journey through history to experience the truly unique, time-honored tradition of Raku firing! During this class, students will construct their wares from a particular Raku clay and fire them to achieve one-of-a-kind, distinctive surfaces unique to Raku. This type of alternative firing is very experimental with no fixed control over how the finish will come out. That is also what leaves everyone wanting more – the results are always a wonderful surprise!
