Saggar Firing and Horsehair Raku Workshop 10am-2pm

About this event

Anthony Rollins offers an exciting mini-workshop for students to explore saggar and horsehair raku firing on bisqueware prepared with terra sigillata.

Horsehair Raku is a pottery technique where strands of horsehair are applied to a hot, unglazed piece of pottery, leaving carbonized, linear impressions on the surface. The resulting carbonized marks create unique, one-of-a-kind designs.

Join us on Sunday, Dec 13 from 10am-2pm to experience the magic of saggar & horsehair raku firing.

Workshop takes place at JTown Clay, 520 N 7th St . San Jose, CA 95112.

Each student may bring 4 bisque-fired pots of medium size made of white clay body (BMIX or BMIX w/grog). Smooth surfaces are recommended as texture doesn’t play well with this process. Terra sigillata and a low-temp bisque firing will be available to studio members prior to the workshop to ensure pieces are ready — details provided following registration.

Tuition includes materials and firing, instruction and kiln supervision. Extra pieces, or oversized items, may get fired for an additional cost — time and space permitting.
