THE RAKU EXPERIENCE IS BACK!

​

Art Hub is teaming up with Derek Bettenhausen and the CHS Art Dept to bring you THE RAKU EXPERIENCE on Friday, Aug 7th.

​

What is Raku you might ask? Raku firing is a pottery technique where glazed ceramics are removed from a hot kiln and immediately placed into a smoldering container of combustible material, like sawdust or newspaper. This creates a reduction atmosphere, causing unique and unpredictable color variations and surface effects in the glaze. The process is known for its rapid cooling and dramatic results, with no two pieces ever being quite the same. 

In other words, it’s pretty awesome to watch and even more fun to make a piece and WATCH THAT ONE GET FIRED!  

​

Art Hub has wheel thrown vases in various sizes for you to come and glaze! Prices start at $25.

 

THE DEETS:

WHERE TO PURCHASE AND GLAZE: Come to Art Hub to pick out and purchase your vase. Then have a seat, relax, & glaze.  We will give you a fire time so you can go enjoy Art on Main  until it’s time to watch your piece be fired. 

 

TIME TO GLAZE: Glazing will be available from 10- 5ish 

FIRE TIME: We will start the first fire when we get enough pieces to fill the kiln around 1pm. (Last fire will start around 5:30 pm on Friday so get in and glaze before then!)

 

WHERE ARE THEY FIRED: In the back of the Art Hub

 

Stop on in! Paint some pottery and watch some fire!
