In this class, we will explore traditional forms that are made for raku firing. Students will create a variety of pieces using the potters' wheel and glaze them with raku glazes. Students will then participate in raku firings during the last two class meetings to explore and learn about the raku process. Open to students of all abilities!

CLASS MATERIALS
Students registering for this class must purchase the Ceramics Class Materials Fee including clay, glazing, and firing (unless you have leftover clay purchased from BAC in the last year). Per the instructor's recommendation, students registering for this class should purchase the “95400 White Clay” option.
There is a materials/firing fee is for every 25 lbs (sleeve) of clay used. This fee goes towards glaze materials and firing costs (fuel, electricity, etc). Choose from white, red, porcelain or reclaimed (mix of camp and white) clay. More clay can be purchased if needed.
Due to the rise in cost from the supplier, Berkshire Art Center has raised the price of clay as of 9/21/2023.
