Maine by Hand: Pottery Traditions Tour & Talk (Off-Site)
April 18 @ 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Free
The Art of Raku
Raku is a dramatic pottery firing process in which a piece is quickly brought to a high temperature and then rapidly cooled. This unique method creates beautiful, unpredictable results, with no two pieces ever quite the same.
Potter and gallery owner Cathie Cantara will share an inside look at several raku techniques, including American raku, horsehair raku, and more. Join us in the studio to learn about this exciting craft tradition and see why raku continues to captivate artists and collectors alike.
This off-site studio visit is part of Maine by Hand: Celebrating American Craft 2026, a rotating exhibition series in the Brick Store Museum’s Bauman Gallery with adjoining programs highlighting American craft traditions.
