Raku Workshop
All levels welcome
Class Description
Join us for an exciting afternoon of raku pottery! Each participant receives 3.5 pounds of clay to create 3-5 unique pieces. You'll glaze your creations on-site and experience the dramatic raku firing process in one of our two kilns. Watch your pottery transform with stunning metallic and crackle effects as we open the red-hot kiln and place pieces in combustible materials. All glaze materials, firing, and pizza included in the fee. Note: Clay must be bisque fired by September 15th. Please plan according.

Cancellation Policy
Studio Policies Students are not permitted to load, unload, or operate pottery kilns. Keep hair tied back for safety. Avoid wearing loose articles of clothing or jewelry that could pose hazards. Closed-toe and closed-heel footwear must be worn in the pottery studio. Do not operate any equipment without the presence of an instructor. All completed work must be collected from Ford City Potters within 6 weeks after the final class, once you're notified by email. Work will not be stored after 6 weeks. Students are expected to arrive on time for each class to ensure the smooth running of the session. Late arrivals cannot make up for lost time. For whatever reason, if Ford City Potters must cancel a session or class, students will be notified via email, and a full refund will be issued. Classes must be paid in full upon registering on the website (credit card or PayPal accepted). Classes are non-refundable. Makeup days are only possible only for glazing days, and only if a space is open in another class. Students are expected to maintain a respectful and inclusive environment in the classroom, treating the instructor and fellow participants with courtesy and consideration. Zero tolerance for disruptive or disrespectful behaviour. In other words, be kind at all times.
