(The pots are naked, we'll have clothes)
Join us at Fiesta Island for some fire and fun April 19, 2026. Bring a pot and bundle of wood and we’ll decorate at the beach. Then we’ll fire those puppies up, pop them in reduction containers, and hopefully scrape off the glaze to reveal the beautiful naked surface.
We want the pots to be as smooth as possible, so bring your greenware to the studio and put on some terra sig before they’re fired once.

We have gift certificates online, but you can stop in for a physical copy too. We have lots of handmade ceramics at all price points. Thanks for a great tenth year, and we look forward to doing pit fires, more raku, and other workshops in 2026.

For those who haven’t been, we’ll have local potters, abandoned name-your-price pots, plenty of holiday cheer and RAKU ornaments that you can paint and fire. There will also be a wheel that you can try and volunteers to help you throw. Grab a locally made tamale and a champurrado.
What’s Raku? It’s a method of glazing and firing pots, very quickly. In less than an hour you can have a finished glazed piece to take home. We’ll have a variety of ornaments (2D and 3D), trees, and more that you can choose to glaze, for $10-$15. Stick around for the whole process (maybe grab a bite) or we can finish it for you. The best part of Raku is that the pieces are removed from the kiln when they are red hot, then transferred to flammable material such as sawdust, which starts them on fire. They are promptly covered and the resulting smoke and reduction environment produces unexpected results.
