RAKU ÖLAND SPROUTS

RAKU

Raku burning has been part of the Paradise Workshop for many years. In Raku, the elements - fire, air, water and mud - come together in an intense and unpredictable process.

Raku is a traditional Japanese ceramic method in which rapid firings, special glazes and reduction create crackles, metallic luster, deep blackening and vivid shifts. The result can never be completely controlled, each object becomes unique.

The fire is an active co-creator and the process is just as important as the result.

During the workshop (about 3 hours) you will receive:\
— An introduction to the origins and technology of Rakun\
— Work with sketch and decor on ceramics\
— Preparing your item for burning\
— Experience the firing moment up close

The course includes **2 ceramic items** that are burned in Raku and shipped to you free of shipping within a couple of weeks.

Limited number of seats. \
Welcome to an intense and sensual experience in mud and fire.
