RAKU EXPERIENCE: Spring 2010, TBA
Hart Street Pottery in conjunction with Cliff House
Studio will offer a unique raku experience.
2 p.m. to 9 p.m.
CLIFF HOUSE STUDIO & GALLERY Hosts: Pam Summers and Raymond Rains 8092 Eagle Mountain Dr. Fort Worth, TX 76135 817 237-7109 www.cliffhousestudio.com
Join in the excitement and immediate gratification AND HOT WORK that is Raku! Raku is a firing process developed in 16th century Japan for the Japanese tea ceremony. Pots are glazed, dried and put directly in a very hot kiln where they remain about twenty minutes until the glazes have melted at temperatures of over 1800 degrees. The piece is removed from the kiln, put into a nest of hay and covered, then later quenched with water. The raku process produces wonderful lustrous and crackle glazes, making each piece unique. The pots that make it through will be ready to take home at the end of the evening.
