Raku & Obvara Workshop February 2025
Join the CAQ team and volunteers for a Raku and Obvara firing session. Participants should bring their own bisque-fired pieces. You may decorate the pieces as you please with our selection of Raku glazes. Obvara firing will also be available.
Glazes will be supplied. A small selection of bisque-ware will be available for purchase. Tea and coffee provided.
Please note, this event is being held at the Brisbane Visual Arts Hub, 140 Weller Road Tarragindi. Free and ample parking is available.
Tips for success:
- Bring 3 to 4 bisque-fired pieces of varying shape and size (and maybe a few spares in case there is room). Varying sizes, especially tall and thin (maximum height 15cm) is handy to fit in tight areas of the kiln
- A white clay is best to bring out the bright Raku glaze colours
- Even thickness of pieces is very important
- Make work with good solid rims and bases
- Avoid large flat pieces
- Avoid fragile additions and joins
- Please wear closed-in shoes and suitable clothes (long sleeves, long legs, non-flammable fabrics). Safety gear will be provided.
