Experience the magic of fire in this exciting, hands-on raku class! Through weekly demonstrations and guided instruction, learn how to transform your creative ideas into unique ceramic works of art. Youll build, glaze, and participate in firing your pieces using our raku kiln.

Raku is a traditional Japanese firing technique known for producing dramatic, one-of-a-kind surface effects. Learn how the firing process works and safely participate in removing glowing, red-hot pieces from the kiln. The pieces are then placed in combustible materials, where the reduction process creates rich colors, crackled surfaces, and unexpected patterns.

Perfect for anyone interested in the excitement and unpredictability of raku firing, this class offers the opportunity to experiment and create truly unique ceramic pieces. Wheel throwers are welcome to bring pre-thrown pieces to alter and finish, but wheel throwing will not be taught in class.
