Raku is a low fire technique - the glowing red hot pots are pulled from the kiln with long handled tongs at about 1000 degrees and are then smoked in sawdust for special effects such as crackle glazes and metallic lustres.

A fee for the use of glazes and kilns is included in the cost. Students provide own clay - available from teacher at the first class approx $10.
