Join us for a hands-on Raku workshop led by Conor Pickett at Pingree School on SUNDAY, July 26th, 2026 from 1PM - 5PM. We’ll start with a one-hour glazing session where you'll learn about our available glazes, how to apply them, and what effects to expect. Then we dive into firing—about four hours of active kiln time. You'll get a crash course in basic kiln theory, oxidation vs. reduction atmospheres, and post-firing techniques.
Workshops are limited to 10 people. To make the most of kiln space, we recommend cylindrical forms over wide bowls or plates (which may warp when fired on edge). Bring more work than you think you’ll need—we’ll fire as much as time and space allow, but we can't guarantee every piece will make it in.
All materials, glazes, safety gear, and tools are provided. You just need to bring bisque-fired pieces. Fire your work to cone 08 for best results. You're also welcome to bring your own decorative materials. If you have a particular vision for a piece, it is recommended you purchase your own Raku glazes.
Participants are invited to be as involved in the firing as they like—just come dressed for safety: closed-toed shoes, long sleeves and pants, no polyester, and hair tied back.
