LEARN HAND-BUILDING TECHNIQUES WITH CLAY
AND EXPLORE RAKU AND ALTERNATIVE FIRINGS Ri has 20+ years experience in hand-building with clay, she has created a beautiful studio and designed and built a Raku kiln to enable her to fire large scale or multiple pieces at once. Ri also has a brick pit for firing in the ancient technique of pit firing with a variety of organic and other materials to enhance colour and add to the fun.
Classes are held in her studio and are limited in numbers, so you get the attention and teaching you need. Learn how to create a variety of forms using the pinch method and how to coil and slab build and other skills like how to create and use a template. Have the freedom to come with ideas or be guided by Ri in exploring the endless possibilities of working with clay.
