Dragon Binding: A Raku Experience

Dragon Binding: Raku firing your very own ceramic dragon egg!

Come join us at Mr. B’s Mead Center for an epic event where you’ll learn the ancient art of dragon binding.

You’ll call a dragon spirit to infuse an empty ceramic egg in order to invite their influence. You must choose your potions and write your spells to call a dragon and ask for their boon. Dragons are powerful creatures and their gifts can be tailored to any desire. What will you invite into your life? Love? Courage? Tranquility? The power to defeat your enemies?

The fires of the raku incubation chamber will solidify the bond between you and your dragon spirit. While you wait, enjoy handcrafted mead and play games with your friends. When the fires recede, the dragon spirit will find a home in your egg and travel with you henceforth.

Info: Select a bisque ceramic egg and paint your glaze while manifesting the type of dragon you would like. Glazing times vary depending on your design, usually 20 minutes to an hour for most.

Info: When the kiln is ready, the Dragon Handlers will place your egg inside with the others. Your egg will be warming up and calling to the dragon souls for about 45 minutes to an hour.

Info: While the eggs incubate, inscribe your dreams and desires using the crafting supplies provided. These be will be consumed by the fire of the eggs later in order to cast your spell.

Info: Once heated, the Handlers will place the eggs into your spell vessel and cover them with wet burlap to contain the flames of creation. The eggs will rest and cool down for about 30 minutes.

Info: After cooling, cleanse your egg with water and take your newly bonded dragon spirit home. They will then be able to roam freely, visiting their egg whenever you should call upon them.
