3-Day Raku Experience

Experience the ancient Japanese technique of Raku Firing right here in Singapore with Terra & Ember. Known for its unpredictability and one-of-a-kind finishing, there are no better ways to achieve this unique aesthetic on your ceramics.

Raku specialist, Chisato Kuroki, hailing from Barcelona, will be demonstrating and leading this thrilling firing process as well as, teaching us a few of her original raku firing techniques, never seen before in Singapore. Commercial raku glazes and some of her original recipes will be provided during the glazing portion and students are encouraged to push the boundaries to create interesting finishes.

Resident Potter, Alan, will be leading the throwing and trimming lessons with white raku clay and the collective objective to throw large vessels. Burnishing techniques will also be taught during the trimming lesson for the naked raku firing. Students are encouraged to take this opportunity to refine and expand on their throwing and trimming skills under the expert guidance of Alan.

Minimum age limit for participants is 16 years old.
