Stefan Jakob: The Raku woodfire kiln from an IKEA trash bin

Raku is a firing technique which was originally and mainly used for the Japanese tea ceremony The kiln, of course, plays an important role. In this course each participant will build a small raku kiln out of an IKEA rubbish bin. This kiln, fired with wood, is a simple and inexpensive alternative to the more normal gas and electric raku kilns. The whole process from forming to raku firing can be directly and personally experienced in schools and in studios.

Course leader:
