Ceramic Pieces to be Raku Fired requirements:

• Maximum of 5 pieces

• Pieces must already be Bisque fired and ready to be glazed. (Bisque firing not included)

• No Flat pieces- such as plates or platters

• No pieces larger than 6-8” wide, and no taller than 11”

• All pieces should be built evenly to prevent damage

Important: The instructor has the right to deny any piece entry into the firing if she deems the piece high risk for explosion or it does not meet the size restrictions.

Raku is for decorative use only. Raku is not Food Safe or Dishwasher Safe.  RCA is not responsible for broken pottery. Pieces are not guaranteed to survive the Raku process.

Safety: All students must review and obey the safety rules provided by the instructor.  Please wear close-toed shoes, 100% natural fibers, long sleeve shirts, and have your hair tied back. Safety equipment will be on hand and reviewed by the instructor.

About The instructor

Vivian Rood has been playing in mud for years.  She makes small batch, one-of-a-kind pottery in her garage studio in Rockport.  Her preferred method is an alternative firing technique known as Western Raku.  She enjoys the creative experimentation of the raku reduction processes:  basic, saggar, horsehair and feather or ferrich chloride fumed.  Vivian is excited to share her passion for this creative adventure that she continues to explore.
