Head over to VisArts' courtyard for Raku Fridays! Need a safe, socially distanced night out of the house, a date night or a fun night with friends? Join us for some raku pottery firing—an exciting approach to pottery surface design! Participants will glaze their pieces, help load them into the kiln, grab a beer or snack across the street at Goatocado, then return to enjoy the campfire-like atmosphere with friends on our back patio. We'll also have some outdoor wheel throwing demos to watch while our pots are in the kiln.

  • Bring your own piece of pottery to fire (maximum dimensions to fit in our kiln are 6"x 6"x10") or buy a piece to fire from us for $10. Bring extra pieces in case there's more kiln space and pay an extra $5 to fire them! Confirmation of Clay Day Weekend classes will happen the Friday morning of that weekend. For the October sessions, we will have special pumpkins available for $20 while supplies last.
