〰️ Trash can fires 〰️ Raku Magic 〰️ Glowing Pumpkins
Friday, October 9th

Join us and our friends from, AlSi Ceramics for a magical night of glowing pottery, fun pals, and hanging out by a fire the night before Halloween.
Pretty sure this is the ultimate in, “vibe setting” for the spookiest time of year!
Ages 16 + ONLY - No experience needed!
Who : Open to all creatures and creators of the night! We will have a selection of pre-made pumpkins and cauldrons included in your spot. Made by the amazing FA Friends!
What : An hour long Raku workshop - you will choose a pumpkin or cauldron and apply a glaze. Once the kiln cools you get to take your glowing red piece out and then toss it into trash can with combustibles. Then, dunk it in water and hear the best sizzle ever. You take your pot home with you!
THESE POTS ARE NOT FOOD SAFE AND CANNOT HOLD WATER,
THEY ARE DECORATIVE ONLY.
Where : East side parking lot of The Stanley Marketplace in front of Friend Assembly Studio - you'll see us cause all the pots!
Why : Lighting things on fire is fun. And lighting things on fire the night for the spooky season feels like the exact right thing to do.
When : Oct 9th, 4-8pm. There will be multiple sessions. These sessions are actively about an hour, but there is some wait time for kilns/cans to cool. Please be on time for your slot, so we can stay on track with your group! During the cool time you are welcome to walk around the Stanley and grab drinks/food!
What is Raku? : Raku pottery is a unique Japanese firing technique known for its distinctive aesthetic and unpredictable results. It involves rapidly heating pottery to low-fire glaze temperatures, then removing it from the kiln while still red-hot and placing it in a container with combustible materials like sawdust or newspaper. This process creates unique colors, patterns, and textures due to the thermal shock and post-firing reduction!
Like we said, trash can fires!
