Spring Raku Workshop II: Because my studio is small and we have a high demand for the Raku Workshop, I've opened another time for people to  build clay pieces on Saturday, April 4.

Learn the Art & Technique of creating the Zen Buddhism-inspired process of Raku Ceramics.  Students will learn different hand building skills at Liggett Pottery on April 4 and then will glaze and Raku fire these pieces at a separate location on April 25th .  

​

Raku Pottery was developed in Japan in the early 1500’s as the Ceremonial Tea Ware of the Zen Buddhist Masters. The word Raku signifies enjoyment of freedom. It was preferred by the Masters because of its humility, tasteful unpretentiousness, simple naturalness, and its deliberate avoidance of luxury...all very important to the Zen philosophy.

According to the Zen Masters, its elusive, subtle, yet vigorous beauty is Raku's worth. It is valued because it is believed that the Spirit of the Maker is embodied in the form and revealed at the foot, which is traditionally left naked (unglazed). It is believed that if we are alert to ourselves, in contemplating the Raku form, we will recognize in it our own Spirit and Meaning.  Taught by Steve Liggett
