Raku Social and Meeting hosted by Kareen Balch. Bring a bisqued and glazed stoneware or raku clay piece to fire in Kareen’s kiln. It is best to glaze your piece at least a day in advance. Use cone 06 glazes. If you don’t have access to glazes, make arrangements with Kareen to come over the day before, or much earlier in the day to glaze so there will be more drying time. Bring an appetizer to share. Drinks will be provided. RSVP to Kareen at 646-6631. Directions are listed in your most recent NCG Newsletter. Thank you, Kareen, for hosting this meeting.
