Join Kristen & Joe Camp at Wolf Cove Inn on Tripp Pond in Poland, Maine and celebrate spring by taking part in a Raku Workshop, which will include a wood fired pizza dinner by Joe Camp. Following the workshop & dinner, enjoy a relaxing stay in one of Wolf Cove’s beautiful rooms and take advantage of their Sauna and Cold Plunge.

At the workshop each participant will choose a bisque fired vase along with a smaller dish or pot to decorate and glaze, using various glazing and surface decoration techniques, which we will teach you. There will be several opportunities to learn about and participate in the various parts of the Raku process throughout the evening.

Once the Raku kiln has been loaded and starts firing we will enjoy some of Joe's delicious handmade pizza made with fresh seasonal ingredients along with salad and dessert! (See the menu below.)

When the kiln is done firing, we will pull all of the pieces and place them in cans filled with combustibles, and cover them with lids. This is where the magic happens! The combination of smoke, fire, and lack of oxygen creates the beautiful crackle and metallic patterns that we all love! Once the pieces have cooled we will show you how to clean them up, and you will leave the workshop with full bellies, content hearts, and a beautiful new Raku piece!

What is a flower potluck, you ask?

Join Tanja Cesh + Kristen & Joe Camp at Ember and celebrate the coming of Summer is the most beautiful way we know how!

Sourcing your flowers is just the start of the fun! Pick from your own personal garden, forage from a wild field, or shop at the farmer’s market. Get creative and have fun with this! Our personal gardens are bursting at the seams and we will be bringing blossoms to share as well. Each guest will have the chance to pick out a hand crafted vase upon arrival and we will teach a short floral arranging lesson while guests enjoy drinks and small bites handmade by Joe Camp and inspired by summer blooms.
