Explore the wonders of raku firing!
This unique date night will create memories and pottery that lasts a lifetime.
This event will be held in Tumalo Bend, on a beautiful property with views of the mountains! You wont want to miss out on this amazing experience. This Raku day will take place from 10am-2ish pm , Saturday March 14th.
Choose a vessel to glaze- each person will be able to select a few vases from a variety of shapes! After glazing, we place pots into the kiln, and let the magic of raku take over. Each firing takes approximately 45 minutes- 1 hour. Enjoy the nature, music, a walk around the property, yard games, charcuterie, beverages and mingling while the kiln heats up! Then we pull from the kiln... the really fun part!
Raku firing: We remove the pottery from a gas powered kiln with large tongs, place them into a trash can with combustibles, and watch the magic happen! Raku is an ancient form of firing, that will make you feel connected to your pieces on a deeper level than a normal electric kiln firing. The pieces are not food safe- typically we make vases, planters and other decoration pieces.
This class is designed for adults, no clay experience needed!
We will clean the pots up after firing, and create a unique flower arrangement from the dry flowers to fill your vessel.
Each person can expect to walk away from the class with 1-2 beautiful and unique pieces of pottery.
