What you'll do
Discover one of the oldest ceramic traditions in this beachside pottery pit firing course in Los Angeles! This two-part course introduces you to the raw, elemental process of pit firing pottery—a technique that predates the kiln and uses open fire and natural materials to transform clay into striking, unpredictable works of art!In the first 2-hour session, you’ll meet at Element Art Center to hand-build your own sculpture (up to 7 inches tall) using raku clay. The following 4-hour session takes place at Dockweiler Beach, where you’ll take part in a communal pit firing experience. Using sawdust, wood, and other organic combustibles, you’ll fire your piece in a beach bonfire, allowing the flame and smoke to create natural, one-of-a-kind surface effects. While the process carries some risks, like cracking or uneven finishes, it also produces beautifully raw and unexpected results.This unforgettable LA pottery class is open to all levels, and all materials are included. Whether you’re looking to connect with ancient ceramic practices, enjoy a creative beach experience, or try something completely new, this pit firing course offers a memorable way to explore the magic of clay and fire!Please NoteThe first session at Element Art Center is 2 hours long, while the second session at Dockweiler Beach is 4 hours long.
What you'll get
A raku clay sculpture, fired using a pit-firing technique.
