Newcomers will be introduced to various techniques making your own ceramic works with raku clay. These pieces will be bisque fired for glazing and raku firing the following month (minimum of 2 workshops – one to create work, the following to raku fire).
Those with experience can create their own artwork and bring in bisqued ware ready for glazing and firing (raku clay or high grog content works best – porcelain not recommended).

There will be a limit to the number of pieces that can be fired per workshop – usually 3-8 pieces depending on size and kiln space. We will decide what can be fired at the beginning of the workshop.
Number of participants per workshop is limited.

soundpedro2025 chthonic
On-site at Angels Gate Cultural Center
Saturday, JUNE 7, 7-10 PM
installations & performances
soundscapes [audi𝗼 tracks]
earmaginations [silent videos]

The one night On-site event includes: sculptures, environments, installations, timed and ongoing performances, interactions, and presentations are placed throughout the Angels Gate Cultural Center site (*AGCC has 7 acres of outdoor space).
soundpedro is not a music event.

Chthonic: relating to the Underworld, a realm ruled by enigmas and psychopomps, a place of forgotten or yet to be remembered potential. Don’t mistake it for mere subterranean; chthonic implies both profound existential dread and hope.

*Note: Be prepared for rough terrain, sun and wind exposure, and temperature changes (e.g. jackets, umbrellas, blankets, practical footwear, etc.)
