HOW IT WORKS:

Registration is now open!
Call 604-769-2787 to purchase your pot(s) & reserve your glazing time by credit card or
visit us in-person at Chilliwack Community Arts Council (20-5725 Vedder Rd.; open hours: Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.).

• $15 per pot (max. 2 pots per person).
• Pre-registration is required to guarantee availability (quantities are limited); registration and payment for each pot is required prior to the event.
• Registered guests will choose their bisque-fired Raku pot design upon arrival at the information tent.
• After choosing the design of your choice, you will be guided through the process of dip glazing your own Raku pot before it is fired by our professional potters, live before your eyes!
• Glazing time is fluid and timing is dependent on many factors. To ensure that the schedule runs smoothly, please arrive at least 10 minutes before your scheduled glazing time.
  • You will need to be onsite for a few hours. This ensures that you have the opportunity to watch the firing of your pot and allows time for the pot to cool before you take it home.
  • Glazing times are scheduled for 9:30 AM, 10:45 AM and 12:15 PM on May 27.
