Expand your ceramics knowledge with our upcoming Raku workshop with 🔥⁠

This engaging experience is perfect for artists, makers, and curious beginners eager to explore form, texture, and transformation through fire.⁠

Throughout the workshop, participants will explore creative hand-building techniques—shaping, coiling, paddling, and refining their own ceramic forms. On the final evening, we’ll come together for a dramatic raku firing session: a fast-paced and visually striking process where red-hot ceramics are removed from the kiln and placed into combustible materials, producing distinctive, smoky, and crackled finishes.⁠

The workshop concludes with a celebratory night-time “Raku Party” and potluck, where friends and family are invited to join in the festivities. Participants will leave with unique, raku-fired ceramic pieces and a deeper appreciation for the transformative power of clay, fire, and creative process.⁠
