Raku with Paul Klassett (Adults and Youth 8+ with Registered Adult)

Join us in VisArts' Cabell courtyard for Raku! Try your hand at raku pottery firing—an exciting approach to pottery surface design! Bring family, friends, or a date for a fun time! Participants will glaze their pieces and help load them into the kiln. Grab a beer or snack from Goatocado across the street and return to VisArts' cozy back patio while you wait for your pieces to finish firing.

Special Notes

• 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-$20. Bring extra pieces in case there's more kiln space and pay an extra $5 to fire them!
