Raku, Wine and Cheese
At Castle Hill's Annual Extravaganza
By Kahrin Deines
May 15th, 2008
Mix together pine needles, sawdust, seaweed and heat. Add pre-formed clay. And you have an evening of entertainment.

Such will be the case during Castle Hill’s upcoming “Night of Fire,” when a raku kiln will be put into action for a dramatic presentation of the firing process. Raku pottery must be withdrawn from the kiln while it is still glowing with heat, which makes for a stunning visual spectacle, especially at night.
The “Night of Fire” is part of Castle Hill’s 2008 Raku Extravaganza, Pottery Sale and Print Show, which will take place on May 24 and 25 in Truro.
