Ceramics Classes are tons of fun!
- Raku Class- Every third Thursday night, starting at 6pm, Earth and Fire hosts a Raku night. (All ages welcome, minors must be accompanied by an adult). No experience necessary. Bring your own bisqued pot, one will be available for a small fee. All you will need to do is glaze the pot, and wait the few hours it will take to fire. At the end of the evening, you will be able to take your pot home!
Cost: $25
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!

"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
