Amphora Ceramic Studio
Life is crazy these days - there are so many reasons to take a pottery class!
Come join us at Amphora, try something new, and maybe you’ll find and unlock a passion you never knew was there waiting for you!
See you in the studio👏🏻
Get fired up!🔥 Experience the thrilling process of raku firing! Raku is a low-temperature firing process inspired by traditional Japanese techniques.
The hot pottery is removed from the kiln during the firing and immersed in combustible materials which cover the surface of the ceramics and react with the glazed and unglazed areas.
The results are instantaneous and excitingly unpredictable!
THIS IS A 3-PART WORKSHOP:
August 17th (Intro at Amphora)
and September 14th (The glaze meeting)
October 5th (The firing)
All meetings of this workshop will take place at Amphora Ceramics Studio in San Rafael. You must make your own bisqueware.
$150 per person
