Experience the magic of raku firing, one of the most expressive and unpredictable ceramic techniques in the world. Originating in Japan in the 16th century, this method transforms each piece through intense heat and rapid cooling, creating iridescent glazes, metallic tones, and beautiful crackled effects that make every artwork truly unique.

This hands-on raku firing workshop takes place within the 2nd International Creators Meeting (2º Encontro Internacional de Criadores), a gathering that celebrates artistic collaboration and cultural exchange. You will paint your own bisque-fired piece using raku glazes, then witness the thrilling moment it is removed red-hot from the kiln and transformed before your eyes.

Alongside learning this dramatic ceramic process, participants become part of a vibrant international community of artists, educators, and cultural innovators. The event promotes creativity, shared learning, and the development of meaningful connections that extend beyond the studio.
