This part of the event will be held in The Bay School Backyard. A variety of options are available for you to participate in the event: \n\nChoose a pot\, glaze it with our raku glazes\, and watch it be fired to 1800°F in less than an hour! ($30)\nIf you are a potter\, you can bring your own pot or small sculptural piece to glaze and fire. Raku clay or any clay with grog will work for this process. ($15)\nKids or adults who don’t want to do raku\, can paint a pot with acrylic paint—no firing needed. ($10)\n\nPottery Throwdown\nThis part of the event is new this year and will be held in the studio! \nSign up to compete in wheel-throwing challenges.
