Raku + Brick Oven Pizza - 10/21/23
We’re thrilled to announce that we are offering our Second Raku Workshop, which will include a Handmade Pizza Dinner by Joe Camp.
At the workshop each participant will choose 1 vase and 1 smaller dish or pot to decorate and glaze, using various glazing and surface decoration techniques. (These pieces will already have gone through a bisque firing.) There will be opportunities to participate in various parts of the Raku process which lasts about 90 minutes once the kiln starts to fire.
While the Raku kiln is firing we will enjoy some of Joe's delicious handmade pizza made with some fresh seasonal ingredients along with a salad and dessert! (See menu below.)
When the kiln is done firing, we will pull each piece and place them in cans filled with combustibles, and cover them with lids. This is where the magic happens! The combination of smoke, fire, and lack of oxygen creates the beautiful crackle and metallic patterns that we all love! Once the pieces have cooled we will show you how to clean them up, and you will leave the workshop with full bellies, content hearts, and 2 beautiful new Raku pieces!
