Item Description
ART DEPARTMENT CERAMICS
Cost of kiln is $2,000. Looking for ten $200 donations to fund it.
Raku is an ancient Japanese technique that has been rediscovered by modern potters who appreciate its unique beauty and metallic luster and colors. The raku process involves reducing (starving the oxygen) the glazed raku pottery in combustible materials such as leaves, sawdust, newspaper, etc. When the pieces are ready to take out of the kiln, they are placed in galvanized trash containers with combustible materials and covered. Once the pieces are cooled down, they are removed from the containers, washed and reveal the rich warm effects of raku.
Pingree students have experiencd Raku through workshop demonstrations.This would allow the Ceramics dept. to teach Raku at Pingree!
