SUMMARY:Raku Firing - July 1
DESCRIPTION:This is for folks to sign up to fire any raku pots\, or fish\,  they have made in my workshops – or help. In order for the raku firing to take place\, I need at least 6 people. If you have not made a pot\, and just want to help\, your help is welcome! No experience necessary. For those who have made something – please feel free to bring them along\, friends or family with no experience\,  if they can help.  \nTasks as a part of the raku firing: \n\nRemoval of red hot pot (or fish) from kiln with tongs to place in garbage can filled with combustible materials\nSomeone to fan the flames and then put the top on the garbage can once the pot (or fish) is placed inside\n\nThis firing will take place Tuesday\, July 1\, from 6 – 8 pm. If you can get to the studio early to glaze your pot (fish)\, that would be great. I would like to do 2 firings. Each firing takes about an hour.  Rain date will be July 5.  \nThe firing will be cancelled/postponed in the event of rain\, extreme heat\, or fewer than 6 people.  \nPlease do not wear open toe shoes\, or loose fitting clothes\, and it is a good idea to tie your hair back. \nOnce your pot is cool enough to take out of the garbage can\, it is placed into water to thoroughly cool. Once cool\, you will scrub it clean\, hopefully removing the carbon and exposing the cool glazes underneath. You then dry it\, and coat it with floor wax to slow down the continued oxidation of the pot and protect the iridescence of the piece. If it has an unglazed part\, you can add some black acrylic paint to highlight the contrast between the unglazed and glazed.  \nRaku pottery is\, for the most part\, decorative and not intended to be used functionally.  \nTo sign up for the firing: click here
