Be prepared for a fun time at this pa'ina or Hawaiian style gathering
with resident artist Ramon Camarillo as he shares his wealth of
information on Raku glazing and firing. Ramon will guide participants
in glazing their pieces on Friday evening then fire to finish on
Saturday. The workshop fee allows participants to bring 4-5 bisqued
pieces each (each piece no larger than 15" h x 10"w). Additional pieces
may be fired at an extra fee of $20.00 per shelf. Bring along your
favorite potluck dish to share on Saturday to celebrate the process and
to admire the outcome of the finished pieces.
