type: Product
description: NIGHTTIME RAKU WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE — Six Different Workshops in 2026 Alpine, Utah | 18 Spots Per Workshop | Clay Hole Members Only DATE & TIME: Friday August 21st, 2026 8:00PM SHARP On the evening of August 21st, you’re invited to experience the ultimate thrill in pottery. An exclusive nighttime raku workshop will be held on the property of Dan's parents (in Alpine), where we’ll turn flame, smoke, and delightful chaos into absolute ceramic beauty... In the darkness of night! This workshop will be limited to just 18 members. It’s hands-on. It’s high-stakes. It’s one of the most rewarding processes a potter can experience. And raku at night?

The camaraderie is just better. The experience is just a lot more magic. And, we're probably only doing this in the evening once per year (since it requires hanging around until 2 or 3 AM). 🔥 What Raku Is (And Why It’s Magic) Raku isn’t just a firing technique... It’s an event. A ritual. A dance with heat, adrenaline, smoke, and flame. In this workshop, we’ll use propane-fired kilns to superheat pots until they glow red-hot, then pull them directly from the fire using long tongs. The pots are then dropped into combustible materials—usually sawdust, newspaper, or other organic matter - where they ignite instantly, shrouding the pottery in flame and smoke. Within seconds, glazes flash. Carbon traps. Metallics bloom. And the unpredictable becomes art. No other method in ceramics produces effects like raku. You’ll see copper glazes shift to oil-slick greens and reds. You’ll witness turquoise halos next to smoky black crackles. Some surfaces turn to silver or iridescent steel. Others trap smoke in the finest of cracks, creating veining that looks like something unearthed from ancient ruins. It’s surface magic - born of chaos and chemistry - and the beauty is…
