Raku Ho'olaule'a 2025
About Raku Ho'olaule'aFounded in 1977, Raku Hoʻolauleʻa (a celebration of raku) brings together ceramic artists to participate in raku and related firing techniques at a campout which is held in a beautiful beach setting on the North Shore of Oʻahu. Objects glazed and fired at the beach are juried by experts in contemporary and traditional raku for an exhibition. Additional events include demonstrations by our guest artist, and a community kiln where the public can glaze tea bowls and watch them being fired.
