Dauphin Island Heritage & Arts Council: Raku Pottery

Saturday, October 25 @ 10:00am–2:00pm and Sunday, October 26 @ 10:00am–4:00pm

Step into the fiery and mesmerizing world of Raku pottery in this immersive two-day workshop led by Kevin Russell—affectionately known as the “Mad Potter” for his bold, vibrant ceramic creations.

Over the course of the weekend, Kevin will guide students through the fascinating Raku process, where clay, glaze, fire, and smoke all collide to create one-of-a-kind results. Each participant will have the chance to glaze and fire two unique bisqued pieces, exploring the extraordinary colors, textures, and surface effects unique to Raku.

This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from Kevin, whose energy, passion, and expertise make the workshop as entertaining as it is educational. Whether you’re a beginner curious about ceramics or an experienced potter looking to expand your skills, this hands-on workshop promises an unforgettable experience where no two pieces are ever the same.
