weekly raku lab
spirit animal masks
$55
Choose from a wide variety of dates and times to make a spirit animal mask at Kadence in preparation for our monthly First Friday Art Walk Raku firings. The class is two parts: on the first you will sculpt your mask (no experience required!) and for the second you’ll return on the first Friday of the month to glaze and watch your piece transform in the kiln. Raku is a form on Japanese pit firing which we do in our back parking lot, from 3-8pm. You can walk in any time during the 3-8pm window to start glazing your piece, and expect to be here about 1.5 hours and take your mask home that day!
