Zac’s Ceramics

Open Studio in June 2013 - Raku workshop.

I thought you might like to have a flavour of the ceramic workshops I will be running from summer 2013.
Please get in touch if you would like more information.
Keep an eye on my blog for forthcoming events and autumn term dates.
Photo 1: Pots are taken out of the raku kiln when it reaches 1000oC using long tongs.
The pieces are placed in to a bin filled with sawdust where the heat of the pieces cause the wood fibres to ignite and carbonise the surface – Reduction

 Photo 2: The pots are allowed to cool then removed from the sawdust.
They are placed in a bucket of water to remove sawdust coating

Photo 3: Three of my finished raku bowls.
The inside has been finished  with a crackle glaze. The effect is emphasised through the result of rapid firing, thermal shock, smoking and carbonising.
