Description: Sculptural Handbuilding & Raku Firing
Local artist Wyman Rice will guide students through the ins and outs of making handbuilt pottery and sculptural forms to be fired in Kentucky Mudworks' raku kiln. Raku firing is an exciting hands-on process that involves removing pieces from a hot kiln and smothering them in combustible materials. The results are lustres, crackles, and smoky effects that cannot be imitated. The unpredictable nature of Raku firing make this a very exciting class! Students may also delve into horse hair firing if interest arises.
