During this online workshop, she show and tell in detail how she prepare , raku, obvara and two kinds of saggar fired pottery pieces for alternative firing, all conducted in a small raku kiln. Marcia designed and built this little mobile raku kiln specifically for this online workshop and she discuss the making process in detail. Other detailed discussions is about the chemicals she used to obtain results. This is a class that will give anyone that would like to start working with alternative firing a very good kick start, more so because she is available to answer questions right throughout the 6 weeks that the class is online. Other classes currently open are porcelain dinnerware workshops by Antoinette Badenhorst and a beginners pinching teapot class by Antoinette.

I have been busy with these! The group made me think of multicolored stones.I am using old and new chemicals for these. Some of the chemicals have been with me since 1972. They were old then..donated to me from the Chemistry dept.at Southern Illinois University.The little brown glass jars have old labels that look like they are from the 30s. One is a cardboard cylinder.
