Raku Workshop at Marygrove College, Detroit




















I was recently invited to bring a small number of my 3D Art students to Marygrove College in Detroit for a Raku Workshop. I selected eight of my best students to participate. We had two sessions, a week apart. The first session was for building our pots; the second was for doing the actual raku glaze firing.
 
Marygrove instructor Jim Lutomski showed the students a quick method of building a pot from a slab by wrapping it around a cardboard tube.









Session two: Glazing and Firing



















Many thanks to Jim Lutomski and Marygrove for this awesome workshop!
