Fall Kill is taking a field trip!

Join us for a special Raku firing workshop at The Newburgh Pottery with owner David Moldover! Raku is a fast-paced, atmospheric firing process that creates dramatic and unpredictable surface effects. These firings are highly interactive ceramic events that bring artists together around fire, experimentation, and surprise, making for an exciting learning experience.

The Newburgh Pottery has generously offered our members and students (past or present!) a 10% discount on the workshop, and Fall Kill is matching that discount with a 10% contribution toward each student’s registration.

“Raku Workshop - Ages 18 and up

In this Full Day Atmospheric Firing Workshop, we'll explore the art of firing low and fast!

We'll cover 4 vastly different techniques that have originated in different times and places around the world:
Glazed Reduction - or - “Western Raku”
“Naked Raku”
Horse Hair
Obvara

Participants will bring their bisque-fired pots, and we will glaze/prep pieces day of - Glazes and all other materials provided.

Workshop Is a flat rate - You can bring as many bisque fired pieces as You like, and we'll get through as many as we can. You can try all the different firings, or stick to ones you prefer!

Participants can be as involved with the firing process as they wish - or - You can prep your pots, sit back, hang out, and have us fire for you.

You'll leave at the end of the day with finished work, and a strong understanding of how these firing techniques work.

Participants must wear Close Toed Shoes and 100% Cotton/natural fiber clothing - No Synthetic Fibers

No refunds - Ages 18+

Some of these firings work better with burnished pieces. Please feel free to contact the studio if you'd like instruction on this process.”
