In this 3 hour workshop, we will be using WSO raku clay and will be building forms by hand. Expert raku potter, Estelle Liebenberg will be leading the workshop (Serena will be assisting) to create bud vases, sculpted houses, tea light candle holders and platters to maximize the kiln firings. Each person will be able to make multiple pieces. Please note that raku pottery does not hold water and is not food safe, decorative purposes only.
*Clay is included as well as borrowing of pottery tools

NO CANCELLATIONS ACCEPTED
As there is only a small limited amount of space in this course and because the raku firing has been pre-paid for, there is no re-booking or refunds available for this course for any reason including illness. You are always welcome to give your spot to another person should you not be able to attend.
