Member Event: Raku Firing - The Petrie Museum Festival of Pots
Friday 06 June 2014 10:00am - 5:07pm
Members get to dramatically glaze their ceramics by taking the red-hot glazed pots from the kiln, and burying them in sawdust. The resulting pots and cracks in the glaze are beautifully smoked and blackened where they have soaked up the carbon from the burnt wood.
This event coincides with the Petrie Museum Festival of Pots, which celebrates and explores their often overlooked collection of ancient Egyptian clay vessels.
