Raku

Instructor: Renato Abbate

Raku firing is an ancient Japanese firing technique developed by Zen Buddhists. During this firing process, pottery is removed from the kiln while it is red hot and then placed immediately into a container that holds combustible materials such as: sawdust or newspaper. Once the lid is placed on the container the ceramic piece is starved of oxygen creating a unique effect on the surface of the pot. In this class we will make forms in preparation for our Weekend Raku workshop scheduled for Saturday,

Printmaking Studies: Intro to Drypoint

Instructor: Antoinette Vogt

Learn the intaglio printmaking process of drypoint in this three day workshop. Developed in the late 15th century, drypoint is a technique in which drawing is scratched directly into a printing plate by using a pointed tool.

Students will learn the basics of plate making, inking and printing using an etching press.
