Desert Sun Ceramics hosted a three-day raku workshop led by Vicente Garcia in early January at the studio on Highway 191. Every participant walked away with new knowledge about alternative firing techniques, as well as some gorgeous raku-fired pottery,” said Liz Ford, owner of Desert Sun Ceramics. Students local to Moab, along with others who traveled from out of state to attend, practiced smoking and glazing techniques unique to the Raku style. Visiting instructor Vicente Garcia oversees the firing process. Liz Ford, owner of Desert Sun Ceramics in Moab.
