Raku Field Trips

Every month—weather permitting—students are invited to take a Sunday raku field trip to the suburbs of Chicago. Field trips are day long events and include discussions about raku, glazing, and the firing of up to 3 pieces.

For upcoming trip dates, please see the Classes & Schedule page.

What is raku?

The location is just outside of Chicago (due to city codes regarding raku firing), so transportation must be arranged ahead of time. Everyone will meet at the studio [directions], and then leave in groups. The groups must be as large as 5 but no more than 10.

Students are encouraged to bring their own water, snacks and anything else they might need for a day outing. Students must bring their own pre-bisqued pieces for the raku fire, and will be able to take their finished pieces home with them that day.

Each trip costs $50 per student.
