RAKU POTTERY

July 28 - August 3, 2008 (7 day course)

Peter Thomas

An exceptional opportunity to explore the ancient, yet contemporary, art form of Raku pottery and pit firing in a beautiful seaside setting. Through an intense workshop of making, glazing, and firing your work in this unique process, you will gain enough experience to create your own Raku. Under the guidance of internationally renowned potter Peter Thomas, you will become familiar with the technical process and develop your own creative style. Construction methods include slab, coil, extruded and, provided there is some prior experience, wheel work. Priority will be given to students with some experience in ceramics. Plan for seven days of intensity and fun by the sea!

Fee: $475 plus HST Member / $500 plus HST Non Member
