Raku Workshop
TBD
Instructor - Candace McCollough
Raku Workshops are held a few times a year and are a firing experience of instant gratification. Watch your pots get hot and pull them into a smoking pit of sawdust and newspaper. Watch the glaze come to life.
This ancient Japanese firing technique is very exciting and a great opportunity to bond with other potters around the fire, preferably with a beer!
