Summer 4 weeks section for Ceramics! FAST!

I taught a four weeks summer section this year. It was FAST. We focused on alternative firing which include Raku, Horsehair Raku, naked Raku, Pit firing, Aluminum Foil firing, Black on Black, and Obvara firing in this short section. We also tried some different surface glazing technique and surface decoration. We had a lot of fun!
