Garrison Art Center

Join your fellow GAC potters at a special one-day raku workshop! All enrolled Garrison Art Center students get a special canvas tool roll to keep. This workshop is in partnership with The Newburgh Pottery and will be taking place in Newburgh, not in GAC’s studio. 

Raku! The art of firing low and fast.

In these all day workshops we'll cover 4 vastly different techniques that have originated in different times and places around the world:

Glazed Reduction

Naked Raku

Horse Hair

Obvara

Participants will bring their bisque-fired pots, and we will glaze/prep pieces day of. Glazes and all other materials provided.

Workshop Is a flat rate - You can bring as many bisque fired pieces as you like, and we'll get through as many as we can. You can try all the different firings, or stick to ones you prefer.

Participants can be as involved with the firing process as they wish - or - You can prep your pots, sit back, hangout, and have us fire for you!

You'll leave at the end of the day with finished work, and a strong understanding of these firing techniques.

Participants must wear Close Toed Shoes and 100% Cotton/natural fiber clothing - No Synthetic Fibers

No refunds if cancelling within a month of the workshop

All students must be 18+ years of age

Naked Raku requires pieces to be burnished beforehand. All enrolled students will receive an email with instructions on this process.

Plan on spending the whole day! This workshop begins at 9:00am and runs until 5:00 or 6:00pm. Lunch is not provided, so plan ahead.
