Private experimental raku firing
Create smoke-marked ceramics in a private backyard firing session.
Alex Schupp Ceramics
Alex Schupp offers a private raku firing experience for small groups at his Denver backyard and garage studio. The specific session explores glazing and alternative surface effects, including horsehair or feather finishes, rather than only ordinary wheel throwing. Participants may discuss bringing suitable previously fired pieces or selecting the artist’s prepared vessels.
