Raku firing at craft centre

A raku pottery firing fun will be held at Ettalong Beach Arts and Crafts Centre on Sunday, June 12, from 10am to 3pm.

Pots and figurines will be available to purchase and advice will be given on how to glaze pottery.

Those who are interested in having their items fired will have the opportunity to do so in one of the kilns set up outside the centre.

"This process produces some really magical effects turning your simple item into a thing of beauty," said publicity officer Ms Sue Sullivan.

"Apart from finding yourself drawn to stay and see all the works of art, the dedicated husbands of our committee members will tempt your tastebuds with their sausage sizzle.

"The talented students will have many arts and crafts on display and for sale in the craft room.

"This part of the day proves popular for people to browse while waiting for their items to be fired," said Ms Sullivan.
