Raku Ceramics Workshop for St. Nicholas Day :)
Fiery Baska
Traditionally, at the beginning of December, in spite of winter, we light a fire. The experience of changing weather conditions only helps. We fire in several kilns at once, which makes the workshops more efficient. And what about the workshops?
Please prepare 5 biscuit works for the workshop.
The works (all) SHOULD FIT on the surface of a circle with a diameter of 32 cm). This is important due to the capacity of the kiln.
The basic size of the work is: base from 5 to 12 cm in diameter, height up to 25 - 30 cm (important due to the height of the kiln).
FLAT WORKS are not recommended.
Works fired to bisque. Preferably from clay with fireclay (e.g. Sio2 Prai, Praf, CJ 9 GS. SBK, wojatszek garncarska st4, Sibelco Raku, GS 468 and others with fireclay). Preferably light clays.
