Drying: Then your section’s pots will be placed in a warming kiln for about 45 minutes then off to the Outdoor Raku Kiln Pad it goes!
Firing: Once we’ve loaded all of your section’s pots into the Raku Kiln it will fire for about 45 minutes, then it will be pulled from the hot kiln and sent through the Western Raku process for your viewing pleasure!Â
Cooling:Â After letting the pot sit and cool for about 15 minutes, it will be ready for its new home!Â
What to do while I wait:Â While you wait for your pot to dry, fire, and cool, you can explore our retail space or venture to our historic museum upstairs. Feel free to bring a snack or a tasty beverage to sip in our courtyard!
