Team Barbara Maker Event!
Join Team Barbara on Friday, August 19th, from 6-9 p.m. for a Raku Party! Throughout this evening, guests will have the opportunity to eat, drink, and mingle outside while watching Mayor Buffaloe and artist Eric Ordway complete a raku firing of the pieces Barbara will auction off at our CelebrARTy Event in October. Guests will then have the opportunity to choose a pre-made bud vase to glaze and fire in the raku kiln! At the end of the night, all participants will be able to take home their pot. Purchase a $50 ticket for you and a friend, and come watch our Columbia Mayor experiment with fire and clay!
