The crackle white that can be created with the raku glazes lends itself perfectly for making a ghost that will add additional fun to the fall table.
You will be provided a slab of clay to make your ghost. You will be led through the steps to assmble the pieces. Come back the following week when a firing is scheduled to glaze and fire your pieces.
Once your ghost is made, it will be bisque fired. This firing burns out the organic material from the clay, and makes it sturdy enough to be glazed. Come back the following week to glaze and fire your ghost.
I am hoping to have 8 people per firing to help. You will sign up for a firing on the Old School Clay website that works with your schedule. The day you sign up, you will glaze your ghost. Then we will do the firing. There will be no additional charge for the firing. If it is too hot or rain is expected, the firing may be cancelled or rescheduled or postponed. I have yet to post the firings for September, but they will likely be on a Friday evening- and at least 2 are planned, maybe more depending on how many folks will need to fire.
These are a couple of good videos about raku – if you are not familiar with the process.
We will try to do the next raku glaze firing August 25, from 5 – 7, come at 4 pm if you need to glaze, but this is subject to weather and temperature. I also need at least 6 folks to help with the firing. If you can’t make the August date, there will likely be other firings in Septmber – but once it gets cold, raku is done for the year.
