Theme:

Peace & Love is about celebrating harmony, compassion, and connection.

Raku

Raku is a unique firing technique where ceramic pieces are pulled from a hot kiln and placed into combustible materials, creating stunning, unpredictable effects on the glaze.

You’ll have the chance to glaze your own piece, then watch as it’s fired and transformed right before your eyes. It’s a hands-on, interactive process that brings out beautiful, one-of-a-kind results.

Don’t miss this chance to get creative and take home a special, fired piece of art!
