Playing hide-and-seek with metal oxides in enamels–we will spend our week pulling shiny metal to the surface of our raku-fired enamels.  This is free-wheeling enamelwork–none of that “color within the lines, Jeanie” (needed with one’s first dime store coloring book!?!)  And if the first raku-firing doesn’t get what you want, this process lets you try again with the same piece.  What an easy-going process this is!  Come, join the fun.

A special seasonal offering, this class explores the magic of raku using copper and powdered glass. Raku is an ancient firing process where works are fired in an outdoor kiln.


This class is part of our Sacred Awakening: Fall Arts week. Creativity, in its myriad forms, is the sacred language through which we express our innermost thoughts and feelings. It is a powerful force that transcends boundaries, bringing us closer to our true selves and to one another. This fall, we recognize and honor creativity as a divine gift, a sacred practice that enriches our lives and strengthens our bonds as a community. Fall Arts Week is designed and refined with these rhythms and stirrings in mind.
