Full Details Below:
The HOT POTS portion:
Before the event, artists, students, and volunteers create over 400 ceramic pots in our Prairie Earth & Fire Studio. You'll choose one of those pots and then glaze it with colors of your choice! Next, the pot is taken to outdoor Raku kiln, which is where the pot comes to life. Raku is not only a technique to quickly set the glaze and introduce unique crackling and metallic sheens, but it offers a show of fire, smoke and glowing red HOT POTS.
The PICNIC portion:
While the pots are being fired in the outdoor kilns, enjoy a delicious BBQ pork or vegan dinner and live, local entertainment. Bluesmattic Blues Band will play from 3-6 PM, then Square of the Roots will pick up and play from 6-9 PM. As the evening progresses and the sky darkens, the stars come out, the kiln fires glow and aflame into the heavens, and the smells of smoke and BBQ fills the air!
The FUNDRAISER portion:
This is a fundraiser designed to generate operational income for art education, interpretation at Edwards Place historic home, art outreach and programming. It allows us to keep our classes and programs at a low-cost to the community and helps us offer free art outreach events and programs where we service over 40 community groups and organizations each year.
You may attend any time between 3-9 PM. Dinner will be served between 4-7 PM. Cash bar.
