SUMMARY:Raku Workshop with Tim Isaac & Jenna Ross
DESCRIPTION:No experience necessary – all are welcome! \nJoin artists Tim Isaac and Jenna Ross for a hands-on Raku workshop that brings fire\, clay\, and creativity together in an unforgettable outdoor experience. Whether you are a seasoned potter or new to ceramics\, this is your chance to take part in the magic of Raku firing from pulling red-hot pots from the kiln to watching dramatic finishes emerge in real time. \nWORKSHOP OVERVIEW: \n\nDates: Saturday & Sunday\, June 14-15\, 2025\nTime: June 14: 9AM-5PM\, June 15: 9AM-3PM\nFee: $200 per person. (Includes two full days of instruction\, all materials\, and your finished pieces to take home.) *No refunds for cancellations within 7 days of the workshop.\nLocation: Jenna’s house in Knowlesville\nTo register: Call 506-392-6769 or email: info@mccainartgallery.com\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Your pots must be made and bisque-fired BEFORE the workshop. \nThis is essential so your pieces are ready for the Raku process. \nHOW TO PREPARE YOUR POTS: \nAll participants must create and bisque-fire their pots ahead of the workshop. We’re offering two options to help you get ready\, both with instruction & support from Jenna\, and both are held at the River Art Centre. (8746 Main Street\, Florenceville-Bristol) \nOption 1: “Make it” Day \nSaturday\, May 24\, 12PM-4PM \nOption 2: Clay Drop-in Sessions \nThursday\, May 29 OR June 5\, 6pm-8pm \nMeet Tim! \n \n“I’m originally from Brandon\, Manitoba. I found my passion for clay about 35 years ago in Winnipeg\, where I took a class with some inspiring young professional potters. My love for clay deepened in Waterloo\, Ontario. I became a member of the local Potters’ Co-op while also finishing a degree at the University of Waterloo.” \nMeet Jenna! \n"Hi\, I'm Jenna and I have a deep love of clay! As it turns out\, I love getting my hands dirty. The walls of my home are even (unintentionally) covered in clay. I continue to be amazed at all the things this wonderful material can do. I've been drawn to the magical art of clay shape-shifting on the wheel from a blob to a form since I first watched a potter as a kid." \nWHAT YOU WILL LEARN: \n\nThe dramatic process of Raku firing.\nNatural burnt-surface decoration using the Obvara technique.\nHow to use feathers and horsehair for striking carbon markings.\n\nWhat is Raku?\nRaku is an exciting pottery technique involving red hot posts and combustible materials which can create dramatic effects. Raku dates back to 16th century Japan\, although "Western-style raku" has put its own variations on the technique. Raku firing is known for its unpredictability\, and each piece is one-of-a-kind! Raku firing is one of the most natural pottery techniques\, embracing imperfection and employing all of nature's elements: earth\, fire\, air\, and water. \nThe work raku translated to English means: 'happiness in the accident'\, pleasure\, enjoyment\, delight!
