RAKU-Fire & Smoke with Ted Camp

RAKU-Fire & Smoke with Ted Camp

RAKU – Fire & Smoke with Ted Camp

April 25, 2025 6:00-9:00 Class Full Call For Waitlist
$70 Includes all supplies, light snacks, wine or beer

When it comes to firing kilns, there is nothing more dramatic than firing RAKU at night! RAKU has a long history originating in Japan, which involves firing clay objects very quickly (appx. 30 minutes) and extracting them from the kiln when the glazes become molten (around 1800 degrees!). The objects are then heavily smoked in trash cans where they develop dramatic, lustrous colors in the short space of about 8 minutes. Students participating in this event will apply glaze to pre-fired pieces, load and extract their pieces from the kiln to smoke them and at the end of the evening, take their glazed pieces home. The process is fast, exciting and the results are serendipitous and one-of-a-kind.

Special Note: Please wear closed toed shoes-No open shoes will be allowed.

Let Loose & Paint the Flowers with Maggie Bosco

May 2, 2025 6:00-9:00
$55 Includes all supplies, light snacks, wine or beer

Unwind and unleash your creativity in this free-spirited floral painting class! Whether you’re a
seasoned artist or just picking up a brush, this class is all about embracing the joy of painting
without overthinking. We will take inspiration from Edouard Vuillard’s “The Lilacs”, to create a
vibrant, simplified floral painting using blocks of color. Embracing a loose and expressive style,
you’ll explore how shapes and values can capture the essence of flowers without focusing on the
details.

All supplies are provided, so come ready to explore, get a little messy and let your creativity bloom!
