Ceramics Raku

This course is for the more experienced potter. The raku technique requires the use of specialized materials and an understanding of the oxidation/reduction process relative to the colours that are used. Much emphasis is given to design and aesthetic considerations in relation to the specific limitations posed by the materials and the unique firing process.
