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, on a beautiful property with views of the mountains, wildflowers and duck pond! You wont want to miss out on this amazing experience. This Raku date night will take place from 3-6 (ish) pm, Friday January 10th.
Choose a vessel to glaze- a vase, planter, jewelry, trinket dishes and more to choose from! After glazing, we place pots into the kiln, and let the magic of raku take over. Each firing takes approximately 40 minutes. Enjoy huddling around the campfire, music, a walk around the property, charcuterie and hot cider, 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 couple can expect to walk away from the class with 2-3 beautiful and unique pieces of pottery.
$250 per couple
