Rakuyaki (楽焼), or Raku ware, is a style of Japanese pottery characterized by low firing temperatures and the removal of pieces from the kiln while still glowing hot. American potters added a "reduction" method to the hot ware, placing it in masses of combustible material to stain the outside with carbon. The results are unpredictable, but always exciting!
Hours: Mon.- Fri. 10pm-6pm

"Throwing or making pots on a potters' wheel is one of the most satisfying and nurturing activities I have known. Many people find it to be relaxing, and many find it to be a truly worthwhile creative outlet. There is a certain quiet satisfaction in using an object one has created oneself." -Gregg Lindsley
