What is Raku? Raku is a modern adaptation of an ancient Japanese firing technique. Glazed bisque ware is rapidly brought to high temperatures, and while the pieces are red hot they are removed from the kiln and placed into a bed of sawdust. Flames erupt, which are quickly snuffed out by placing a large pail over the fire. Robbed of oxygen, the fire seeks other sources in the clay body and glaze causing unique effects such as iridescence, much as rust can be returned to iron by ‘reducing’ oxygen or as fireworks burn bland metallic oxide powder into intense color.

Each participant will receive a ‘glaze ready’ bowl and will apply personal and unique glaze patterns. After the pieces are ‘rakued’ there is a brief cooling period after which they are scrubbed and ready to take home!

This special RAKU session will be lead by master potter, artist, and professor Bill Shillalies. If you know him you love him and if you don’t you’ll have to come and meet him!

Spaces are limited so reserve your place soon. Please make checks payable to The Patchogue Arts Council, email info@patchoguearts.org to reserve your space


ABOUT THE PATCHOGUE ARTS COUNCIL

ABOUT MOCA L.I.
Museum of Contemporary Arts Long Island (MoCA L.I.) is the exhibition space of the Patchogue Arts Council (PAC).

By redefining PAC’s exhibition space from Gallery to Museum, opportunities for the community and the artists we serve grows exponentially. PAC has always been unconventional in comparison to other arts councils. Our primary focuses are to make current and contemporary art accessible to everyone and to serve artists across Long Island. We work to create inclusiveness in all of our opportunities for Long Island’s Spanish-speaking communities as well. Through our programming, we support, promote, and encourage early, mid-career, and established artists working in all media and all walks of life.

The Patchogue Arts Council is located at 20 Terry St., Suite 116, Patchogue NY.                                                                                                                                      For more information visit www.patchoguearts.org. Email info@patchoguearts.org.
