The experience is full day one, from 1 p.m. to 10.30 p.m.. At the beginning we'll spend about 4 hours at the “Laboratorio Artistico”, our atelier. There will be a brief introduction on Raku technique. Later each participant will glaze 2 or 3 pieces freely chosen among a wide range at the atelier (vases, dishes, sculptures). After the glazing we'll move in the hills, at about 20-minute drive from the atelier, where we'll fire the artworks. Raku technique in fact envisages a second firing, open-flames almost 1000°, at which will follow the extraction of the pieces, still incandescent. Moreover we'll do a number of operations, with water, air, smoke, that will confer to the pieces unique colors and shades. During the firing, that will last about 3 hours and that will happen during sunset/evening, we'll offer to the participants a happy hour/dinner. The end of the experience is expected to be at about 10.30 p.m.. You can then bring home with you your creations.
It is important to wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty. Closed shoes. If possible bring something to cover yourself for the evening, since the final activity will be outdoors.

RAKU POTTERY, FROM CREATION TO FIRING
Andrea, ceramist
The workshop is divided in two stages. The first envisages the creation of two objects (a dish and a vase) by using manual techniques and various molds. This experience will take place in the atelier of Verona, located within the shop. (it will last about 4 hours). The second stage instead, will be at the atelier of the Raku's furnace. It is in an open space close to Verona. It envisages the coloring and the firing of the objects. (it will last about 4 hours). Total hours expected for the workshop are 8. For the biscuit to be available, you have to wait at least two days. That is why we'll agree upon a the date of the second stage of the experience.

MAKE YOUR CERAMIC MUG
Luca, ceramist
During this hands-on workshop you will create a pair of tea mug or a pair of coffe cups. I will tell you about my experience with pottery and I will show you the different materials we can work with. We will choose together the most suitable technique, then we will design the mug and shape your creation, following your ideas. When it will come the time, we will have a break for a good tea and I will make you a special sweet gift to taste! Once our molding phase is done, you will choose the colors for your object and I will then cook it, glaze it and finally send it to you. If you are in Italy the shipping costs are included, while if you come from abroad we will find a way for the shipping.

CROCKERY SOAP HOLDER
Agnes, ceramist
As we are on the Como lake you will give your soap holder the shape of a stylized fish. To decorate, you will use stones, fabrics, seashells and other objects to imprint on your still fresh piece. At the end of this project your works will dry for a few days in the workshop, then after the first baking session I will fill in the print that you have made with a white polish and then bake the pieces for a second time at 1020 degrees centigrade. The finished soap holder will then be sent to your address - if you live in Italy the sending price is included in the course.
