SUMMARY:Raku Firing 2026
DESCRIPTION:Meet Tim!\n“I’m originally from Brandon\, Manitoba. I found my passion for clay about 35 years ago in Winnipeg\, where I took a class with some inspiring young professional potters. My love for clay deepened in Waterloo\, Ontario. I became a member of the local Potters’ Co-op while also finishing a degree at the University of Waterloo.” \nMeet Jenna!\n“Hi\, I’m Jenna and I have a deep love of clay! As it turns out\, I love getting my hands dirty. The walls of my home are even (unintentionally) covered in clay. I continue to be amazed at all the things this wonderful material can do. I’ve been drawn to the magical art of clay shape-shifting on the wheel from a blob to a form since I first watched a potter as a kid.” \nJoin artists Tim Isaac and Jenna Ross for a hands-on Raku workshop that brings fire\, clay\, and creativity together in an unforgettable outdoor experience. Whether you are a seasoned potter or new to ceramics\, this is your chance to take part in the magic of Raku firing from pulling red-hot pots from the kiln to watching dramatic finishes emerge in real time! \nDate: Saturday\, June 13 from 9am-5pm \nFee: $60 per person \nLocation: Jenna’s house in Knowlesville (Address will be emailed to participants only for privacy reasons) \nTo register: Call (506) 392-6769 or email info@mccainartgallery.com \nAll pots must be bisque-fired prior to the workshop. Participants are encouraged to attend either a Make-it Day\, or clay drop-in until April 30th. *Drop-in pricing applies. \nWhat on Earth is Raku? \nRaku is an exciting pottery technique involving red-hot pots and combustable materials which can create dramatic effects. Raku dates back to 16th century Japan\, although “Western-style raku” has put its own variations on the technique. Raku firing is known for its unpredictability\, and each piece is one-of-a-kind! Raku firing is one of the most natural pottery techniques\, embracing imperfection and employing all of nature’s elements: Earth\, fire\, air\, and water. \nThe word Raku translated to English means: ‘happiness in the accident’\, pleasure\, enjoyment\, and delight!
