Back by popular demand November 8th, the “Ignite the Night” fundraiser will kick off Red Heat Ceramics’ 4th Annual Sale weekend with live Raku firings throughout the evening. Red Heat opens its doors to the public only once a year. The Ignite the Night show draws hundreds over three days and all are welcome.

Art Sale Returns with Fundraiser and Live Raku Demonstrations

The Raku technique is essentially when glazed ceramics are taken from the kiln while they are still glowing red hot and are then placed in a material that would be able to catch fire, such as sawdust or newspaper. This technique is used to starve the crafted piece of oxygen, which creates a myriad of colors within the glaze.

The highly anticipated Red Heat Ceramics adventure is Tulsa’s most talked-about ceramic event. This 4th year will feature hundreds of handcrafted works ranging from functional pottery to stunning sculptures. The local community studio was founded in 2021 an now includes over 40 working member artists.
