Every piece emerges with its own one-of-a-kind patterns, smoky blacks, and striking colors. Bring your own non-functional bisque pieces or choose from premade pottery to glaze with special raku glazes or decorate with horsehair and feathers. You will also learn about the history of the Raku Family in Japan who makes traditional Raku, how it spread to the USA, and how American potters altered the process, creating American-style Raku. *If bringing your own pots, they must be bisque fired and less than 8” in height and 6” in width. Bisqued pottery will be available for purchase- $15/peice.
