Raku-Fest Returns to the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey
Saturday, June 12 & Sunday, June 13, 10 AM–5 PM
We are excited to announce the return of a classic Art Center event: Raku Fest! Raku Fest showcases a unique ceramic firing process in which red-hot ceramic pieces are transferred directly from the kiln into a container of combustible materials. The heat of the ceramic causes the materials to ignite, and the resulting smoke creates one-of-a-kind effects in the ceramic glaze. Led by raku veterans Peter Syak and Lisette Bedoya, this is sure to be an amazing event!
Attend the Event—advance registration required
A socially-distanced audience can watch the action live as multiple raku firings take place throughout the day. To limit capacity, admission is available for either morning (10 AM–1 PM) or afternoon (2–5 PM) on both days. Attendees may arrive any time during their time window. An assortment of pre-made ceramic pieces will be available for purchase for participants to glaze and have fired during the event. If you choose to glaze an item, your $5 admission fee will be deducted from the cost of the item. Items available for purchase and glazing include: jewelry pieces, plates, and pots of varying sizes. Walk-ins the day of the event will be available only if capacity allows.
$5 per person admission fee. Children 17 & under are free, but must be accompanied by a paying adult. Please enter the number of children attending during registration.
