Participants can puchase and glaze a pot made by the Arts Center potter, which is then fired in an outdoor kiln. Enjoy a night in the Pottery Studio and watch the act of opening the kiln at full temperature and removing pots while they are glowing hot. The full process involves lots of heat and fire!
