New Year Short Session:
Don’t let a hectic schedule this New Years keep you from unleashing your creativity!
Join our three-week short session—perfect for those on the go. Discover a fun, fulfilling workshop designed to fit seamlessly into your busy life.
In this three week workshop, you’ll choose a base form—like a toad, whale, or turtle—and build on it to craft your own unique creature. Using molds, shapes, and your imagination, you’ll bring your design to life with one-of-a-kind details. Once complete, your creature will undergo a raku firing, where alternative and atmospheric techniques will add dynamic textures and finishes. From smooth matte surfaces to crackled and metallic effects, each piece will emerge with its own distinct personality.
Channel your creativity and catch them all—your own raku-fired creations await!
Instructor: Nathan Himes
