Hands-on Raku Firing
Also enjoy a hands-on ceramic experience like no other! Paint your own ceramic pot and discover the dramatic beauty of Raku, an ancient Japanese firing technique. Watch as your glowing-hot creation is pulled from the kiln and placed into a chamber of natural combustibles—creating stunning crackles, bold textures, and vibrant, one-of-a-kind finishes. Please note: Raku pots are decorative and not food-safe.
