We are excited to offer regular raku firings led by Natalya Seva. 

Still Life Studio

850 Pico Blvd

Santa Monica, CA 90405

In this workshop, you will learn two techniques: horse hair and foil saggar

The horse hair technique is where pieces are removed from the hot kiln and horse hair is used to burn unique designs onto the pieces.

The foil saggar technique is where a ferric chloride solution is put onto the pieces, they are then wrapped in foil, and fired in the raku kiln.

After participating in this in-depth workshop, you will have solid knowledge of how to conduct horse hair and foil saggar raku firings by yourself.

Natalya Seva has a background in oil painting and animation, but it was her discovery of clay that introduced magic into her life. In her creations, she combines the natural richness of clay with other materials like wood, glass, metal to create stunning works that are beautiful, dramatic, and elegant. See more of Natalya's work here.
