Experience Raku from start to finish in this hands-on, multi-day workshop. You'll throw and trim your own pieces, then take part in a live Raku firing at the Yuko-En Japanese Garden — pulling glowing pots from the kiln and transforming them with horsehair application and post-firing reduction for bold, unpredictable surfaces.
