# Event Details

- **Event Name**: RAKU OPEN STUDIO
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 19 Jun, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Last summer we had so much fun with raku. Our hope is to do that again this summer. This is our kickoff class.

You have seen the fun on "The Great Pottery Throwdown". Now you can try it yourself!
 A fun way to end the work week. There are no prerequisites to attend this workshop.

This will be run the same as the regular open studio - with a couple of differences:
- clay limited to 3 pounds. Given the small size of the actual raku kiln, items made will be limited in size. Please try to keep your pieces no bigger than 6" x 6".
-  No more than 3 pieces. 
- wheels are not guaranteed - I have found , though, that potters are very good about sharing resources. If you choose to make something on the wheel, there will be no opportunity to trim your pots, so you need to throw it so it will not need trimming.
- there are no prerequisites, but you should have experience working with clay. 

At least 4 people need to sign up for the class to take place.
 
if you are a regular open studio attendee, you will not be able to work with your raku piece during regular open studio times. Raku clay has a different firing temperature and it is important that the regular studio clay does not mix with the raku clay. The studio is also too small to pull out raku materials during regular open studio. 

This workshop is for Friday June 19  from 3 - 5  pm. 

The next raku firings will tentatively take place Friday evening July 24 from 5 - 8  pm- dependent on:

Are there enough pieces to fill the kiln?
Is the weather suitable? ( no rain in the forecast, not too hot, not too cold, not too windy)
Are there enough folks to help with the firing? At least 6 are needed

The rain date will be the following Friday at the same time.

Please familiarize yourself with the studio rules before committing to this class.
