Tutors - Elaine and Kieran.
Design , manufacture and preparation of varoius ceramic pieces through the relatively quick and simple Raku firing process.
The 'theatrical' display of finished pieces. really enjoyed this 2 week blast being very interested in the process itself, what you can and cannot do with clay mechanically and of course the aesthetics.
More pics below.
Its taking a long time to download images so I'll leave it at that just now.
In summary -
Loved the degree of randomness that raku offers ...which always seems to look right in the arrangement of spots and cracks acros or wonderful designs. I reckon this is probably due to the natural stresses and strains in the material / design resulting in a harmonious outcome. Similar to printing you never get quite what you expected and yet this tends to be a positive for the above reason.
Loved the time in the classroom and in the workshop and very interested in kilns ,temperatures and response of the clay.......Could see myself whiling the days away sweating it out doing this kind of stuff....no problem.
