A Very Successful Raku Firing

Thanks to Hugh Rickard for your guidance, expertise, and knowledge sharing a very successful Raku firing recently, not leaving out the strong backup team, placing wet newspapers, sawdust, shredded newspaper & relining bins. Approx 12 firings with start time 10-00 – 2.30 pm. Pleasant surprises with great outcomes. Fantastic company, delicious shared lunch & of course coffee.

Mould Making Workshop

Mould Making Workshop with Amy Michaels

We got down and dirty, we had plaster on our hands and luckily no disasters on the floor! So everyone was able to take a mould home if not two, with enough experience to make more. Not
only did we make press moulds, but we utilised our time and scraps to make stamps and sprigs.
Students were pleasantly surprised by how much detail is picked up of the model. Everyone had a productive and very enjoyable time.
