Join us for an immersive experience where the ancient art of Japanese pottery meets the thrill of outdoor firing, resulting in one-of-a-kind ceramic masterpieces that radiate with unique beauty and character.

In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the art of Raku, a traditional Japanese firing technique known for its dramatic results and unpredictable outcomes.

The highlight of the workshop is the exhilarating Raku firing process, where red-hot pottery is removed from the kiln and placed into combustible materials, such as sawdust, to create stunning surface effects. Experience the thrill of the flames as they dance around your pottery, transforming it into a work of art right before your eyes.

As you delve into the world of Raku, you'll have the opportunity to experiment with different glazes, techniques, and firing methods, allowing for endless creative expression and exploration. Whether you're a seasoned ceramic artist or a curious beginner, this workshop offers a dynamic and inspiring environment to learn, create, and connect with the ancient tradition of Raku pottery.
