Portland RAKU PARTY: Friday OR Saturday

About this event

RAKU PARTY - Nov 13 or 14, 2026

$125/person (choose your day/session in ticketing) 6-10 pots / 2.5 cubic feet

3 sessions: Friday night, Saturday Morning, Saturday Afternoon Chili included

Join Joe Robinson at the new East Creek x Tabor studio at the foot of Mt. Tabor Park.

Bring your bisque and your appetite, nothing more!

For $125 , fire 6-10 pots up to 2.5 cubic feet. Raku glaze, horse hair, feathers, and instruction included. No previous experience is required, but you must bring your own bisqued pieces. You may bring your own reduction materials to experiment with, if you like. Otherwise, we'll reduce in pine shavings.

Any clay will do, and any forms under 21" are acceptable. Try to prioritize pieces made from high fire clay with some grit. Low fire clays (besides dedicated raku clays) and smoother clays (like porcelain) are acceptable but more likely to crack.

Joe's "Standard Issue" chili will be provided. It's gluten free but no veg option is available; many great restaurant options exist within a mile or two.

EVERYTHING MUST BE BISQUED (or it will certainly explode)
