Join us for a two-day, hands-on workshop as we dive into the topic of Raku ceramics. Together, we'll explore traditional Japanese Raku as it relates to religious and cultural practices and its later expression among American ceramicists in the mid-1900s. During the first workshop session, you'll use hand building techniques to create tea bowls. We'll meet the following weekend to glaze and fire your works using the Raku process.

This in-person workshop will take place outside and the Raku process can be messy, so dress accordingly. Open to students of all levels. All materials and tools are included.

If the workshop is postponed due to weather or unforeseen instructor circumstances, the rain date is November 10.

Have you ever tried to make a popcorn garland? First problem: not eating all the popcorn you just popped. Second problem: trying to thread a needle and then push that needle through popcorn which makes a terrible styrofoam-against-styrofoam sound which might cause you to drop the needle and stab yourself in the thigh. Third problem: stabbed thigh.

Instead, felt a garland! Drape these festive balls around Christmas trees, banisters, mantles, your dog or cat, your or partner or wannabe partner—anyone or anything that needs some holiday cheer.
