Infused Mica Techniques Workshop: This one-day workshop will introduce participants to techniques for using mica powders as coloring agents for raku pieces.

Raku techniques that can use mica include; sodium silicate, naked raku, horsehair raku, post fire reduction, and foil saggar raku. In this workshop, participants will be able to fire mica infused terra sigillata pots using horsehair, post fire reduction, and foil saggar techniques.

HORSEHAIR

Raku

This is one of the techniques that I want to master. Being a horsewoman, the thought of having a memorial vessel using horsehair from my beloved horse is a blessing and a treasure.
