You pull glowing, red-hot pieces straight from the kiln and immediately place them into reduction chambers filled with combustible materials. This process is physically active and entirely unpredictable, resulting in unique crackle glazes and metallic finishes that cannot be replicated. What makes Raku special at Studio White & Gray? It is the immediate feedback. In our 3-day workshops at the New Great Eastern Mill Compound in Byculla, you do not just watch. You are hands-on with the tongs, managing the reduction chambers and watching the transformation of your own hand-built pieces. Our process: - Days 1 and 2: We focus on hand-building forms that survive the rapid thermal shock of Raku. We guide you on specific clay types and construction techniques that hold up under pressure. - Day 3: The firing. We take your pieces to temperatures over 1000 degrees Celsius, remove them glowing red, and seal them in air-tight containers with combustible materials. The smoke and carbon interaction create the signature Raku look. This is raw, elemental pottery. You might arrive as a beginner, but you will leave with a piece you created from start to finish. We limit our batch sizes to ensure everyone gets to handle the tongs safely and understands the science behind the thermal shock. If you are looking for a break from the digital world and want to get your hands dirty with real fire, this is the place to be. ## About Studio White & Gray Hi, I am Sandeep. I started this studio because I wanted a space where anyone, beginner or pro, could actually touch the process. Raku is my favorite way to show that pottery is not just about shaping clay. It is about the dance between fire and earth.
