5. Raku Surfaces and Firing by Pioneer Works
Location: Brooklyn
Cost: $70
I would say this is a bit of an advanced clay working and pottery class, as the primary focus of this class is to demonstrate the Raku firing technique with the emphasis on glazing and surface design of the pottery and artworks that you made. On the surface of things, pottery is pretty simple, you make a pot and then you fire it up to give it a permanent shape. However, once you head into decorating the stuff you make, things get pretty complicated, very quickly. There are hundreds of techniques to learn and thousands of materials to practice with. If you are into pottery and clay working, this class is a must for you.
