Raku Lanterns (2-Part Workshop)
Saturday, September 12th 10AM-12PM
& Saturday September 26th, 10AM-12PM
$200--
As autumn draws near and the nights begin to lengthen, join us for a two-part Raku lantern workshop.
In the first session, there will be a brief slideshow detailing the origins of lantern making and showing the work of various artists. Then we will create our own lanterns and tea lights using slab building, pinching and coiling techniques. Next we will dry and carve them to create patterns designed to accentuate the glow of interior candles.
In the second session, you’ll return to glaze your pieces and to experience the excitement of a Raku firing.
A chance to slow down, get creative and welcome the changing season with warm, glowing handmade pieces that will literally light up your home.
All materials provided. Open to all skill levels.
