Our 2019 Raku Rendezvous is scheduled - here is a link for registration: https://paramountarts.org/event/raku-rendezvous-10-12-10-13/

Whether you’ve done Raku before or if you’ve only read about it or seen things posted this is a great workshop to participate in.
We have 3 great presenters that will share their decorating techniques and each over 30 years of experience throughout the two day workshop.
Bring 10-12 bisque pieces to Raku fire in the 3 different styles of kilns that will be on hand.
A great opportunity to learn, get your pots fired and make friends with others who are passionate about clay.

In preparation of the workshop start making your pots now. Be sure to make some pieces with smooth surfaces so you can experiment with brushwork, shelac and wax resist and other decorating techniques that will be demonstrated.

Other clays can be used, but both Continental Clay and Minnesota Clay have Raku Clays that have open enough clay bodies to withstand the thermal shock of the Raku process - it is your best choice.
