Private raku firing parties
Watch fire and smoke transform your group’s painted pottery.
Flingin Pots / Suzanne Fling
Flingin Pots lists a private raku workshop for groups of six to fourteen, with each participant decorating two pieces for firing during the session. The appeal is the unusual firing process and its unpredictable surface effects, with finished work intended for collection after the event rather than a conventional wheel-throwing class.
